“This promises to be a fun night, and all for a good cause,” said ACTION Wrestling CEO Matt Griffin, a Tyrone resident and Wish Granter with Make-A-Wish Georgia.

“We are incredibly excited to partner with ACTION Wrestling for this unique event,” said Jaylie Welch, manager of community events for Make-A-Wish Georgia.
