When Dave Drumm was approached to help create an event at the Bowmanville Legion, he got right to work creating –

“Pulling For Veterans” The 1st Annual Armwrestling Fundraiser

Bowmanville Legion Branch 178

Saturday February 22nd, 2020 – 1:00pm (Weigh in starts 10am)

Dave not only wanted create an event to help raise awareness for his local Legion but to also help homeless Veterans. All proceeds from “Pulling For Veterans” will be donated to the Joe Sweeney Fund. The fund was created to to ensure that at risk Veterans have suitable housing and/or the support services they require to remain permanently housed and with a stable future.

The event is not just for fun either, this is a sanctioned event by the Ontario Armwrestling Association. There will be over 150 armwrestlers in attendance with an amatuer and pro class. Armwrestlers from all over Ontario will be in attendance for this fundraiser.
