Cuba Wrestling contact info

[TakeDnn 0]

I'm heading to Cuba next week and would like to bring a bunch of wrestling shoes for their youth wrestlers.  My understanding is that a pair of wrestling shoes is a luxury in this poverty stricken nation.  Does anyone have contact information for any wrestling clubs or organizations in Havana?  Thanks.

That's awesome - the thing about shoes is correct. While there, some family members made friends with the restaurant & bar staff next to the place they were staying. The employees asked them if they could have their shoes; one person had two pairs (more like 1.5, they were really beaten up) that was shared among a family of four.

If you have any contacts at ASU wrestling, that might also be a good place to ask since they did a training exchange with Cuba wrestling last year.

not sure if this is accurate but here's what a quick google search found:

Edit: otherwise I'm sure the UWW contact could put you in contact: info@unitedworldwrestling.org

DM TR Foley on Twitter. Im sure he can help. Or just tweet him.

I would maybe email Lee Pritts at ASU. Put it in the subject you are looking for a contact to donate shoes.  You may be able to get a response for a contact point in Cuba.
