NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — Wrestlers of all ages and experience levels will have the opportunity to compete, raise funds, and create lasting memories at the upcoming Niagara Falls Wrestling Tournament, set in the heart of one of North America’s most iconic destinations.

The Pin Cancer Nationals will feature competition across all age groups and divisions, providing opportunities for youth wrestlers, middle school athletes, high school competitors, and open divisions to test their skills against outstanding competition in a first-class tournament environment.

In addition to the action on the mats, participants will have the opportunity to earn valuable incentives through the tournament’s fundraising program. Wrestlers can raise funds to earn exclusive Rudis Wrestling Gear as well as free tournament entry, making participation more accessible while rewarding athletes for their efforts off the mat.

A special guest clinician(s) will also be announced in the coming weeks. Any wrestler who raises $1,000 or more will receive exclusive access to a private clinic with the featured guest from USA Wrestling, creating a unique opportunity to learn from one of wrestling’s top names.

Located in the heart of Niagara Falls, the tournament offers much more than elite wrestling competition. Families can turn the weekend into a memorable getaway by exploring the world-famous waterfalls, attractions, restaurants, and entertainment options that make Niagara Falls one of the premier family destinations in North America.

Whether athletes are chasing championships, earning rewards through fundraising, or enjoying a family trip around one of the world’s natural wonders, the Pin Cancer Nationals Wrestling Tournament promises an unforgettable experience both on and off the mat.
