SOUTH AMBOY — South Amboy Elks Lodge #784 is hosting a ‘Sumo Wrestling’ Fundraiser on Saturday, March 23rd from 7 PM – 11 PM at the lodge located at 601 Washington Avenue, South Amboy. Cost is $5 admission which includes a hot dog bar with all the fixings; $10 to wrestle; $5 for additional matches. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to sponsor local students to attend the New Jersey State Elks Peer Leadership Conference which is held at the Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch, NJ.

The NJ Elks Peer Leadership Conference is open to all New Jersey students who are in grades 9 through 12 and are proud to be alcohol, tobacco and drug free. The purpose of the conference is to increase participants’ ability to make healthy decisions for themselves and others around them, specifically related to drugs and alcohol; to increase leadership abilities to effectively create positive change in their schools and communities; to provide tools and resources to implement action plans in their communities; and to create a network of peer leaders with the ability to educate their groups, schools, and communities on the skills presented at the conference.

The conference includes keynote addresses, interactive workshops and fun events for the students.

For additional information on the Sumo Wrestling Fundraiser, please call the South Amboy Lodge at 732-727-7170 and leave a message for Jeanine.
