Hearts and Headlocks is a non-profit organization that’s main purpose is to make sick kids feel remembered and loved. We take toys to the hospital and also give these children a chance to meet independent pro wrestlers. During the holidays families with sick children can feel alone and scared. We reach out to these families with a small gift and a lot of love, to try to bring some light back into there lives. Hearts and Headlocks was started in 2008, in San Antonio TX, and worked with two Texas wrestling promotions, a few local businesses, and River City Christian School to bring $800 worth of toys to kids at Wilford Hall Medical Center and also Methodist Children’s Hospital in the first ever Hearts & Headlocks Toy Drive. This year we are doing it again and aiming higher. We are looking for volunteers who would like to help by collecting toys and/or to come along to meet children and pass out toys to change what could be the a miserable Christmas for a sick child and his family to a cherished memory. We are currently looking to visit hospitals in the cities of San Antonio, New Braunfels, Temple, Houston and Austin TX. Starting in August, we will be touring around the state of Texas telling wrestling promotions about our program, getting volunteers to visit with the children and collecting toys across the state of Texas. We DO NOT accept monetary donations. This year’s program will run from August 1st to December 15th of 2009. We want to get an early start this year in hopes of making the biggest possible haul we can to help the children. A little gift can and does mean so much to a family in need and put a smile on their faces, especially during the holiday season.
ACW Will be part of the Hearts and Headlocks and headlocks this year. Still waiting on more detials on how it will all work
