It’s easy for us to get caught up in the matchups and the hype behind the Beat The Streets annual benefit. 

But let’s pivot our focus from what’s happening on the mat to why it’s all happening and what the true mission for BTS is. 

“Beat the Streets cultivates youth development in underserved communities by encouraging a desire for excellence, respect, teamwork, leadership, integrity, and perseverance through the instruction of quality wrestling programs. BTS strives to enhance young men and women’s lives in school, sports and the community.”

This mission and objective is completely met through all the work that’s put in year after year.
