For six years, Roger Artigiani and his Asylum Arena staff, in conjunction with Combat Zone Wrestling will continue the tradition of working with the US Marine Corps. to bring the Toys for Tots collection back to the Asylum Arena in December.
Joining the Asylum Arena and Combat Zone Wrestling this year will be Jersey All Pro Wrestling. CZW & JAPW will be teaming up on December 11th to present “SUPER SATURDAY” at the Asylum Arena. JAPW’s Anniversary event will begin at 4:00pm, while CZW’s Cage of Death event will begin at 7:30pm. Toys for Tots Collections will be done before BOTH events that day.
We ask that you please bring an unwrapped toy to the Asylum Arena if you are attending one of the two events and donate it to the Toys for Tots program, who will have collection bins at the entrance of the Arena. The mission and goal of the Toys for Tots program is to collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to needy children in the community. Though a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope is delivered to less fortunate children that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.
No matter what event you are attending that day, we again, ask you to please donate an unwrapped toy and help an unfortunate child to have a happy Christmas this year. If you aren’t able to attend Super Saturday, there will be other events in the area that will assist with the Toys for Tots collections.
Please head over to the Toys for Tots Foundation website, as they have information about their foundation as well as other collections all over the country. Select the state that you live in, and find a location where you can drop-off a toy for an unfortunate child this year. Whether you’re attending Super Saturday or not, this is a great opportunity to help those in need
To order tickets for Cage of Death, go to Combat Zone Wrestling’s ticket website and Jersey All Pro Wrestling’s website at JAPW.net.
