This was like a month ago, but it showed up in my socials today. I remember them talking about it on TNA iMPACT! but I didn't think about it at the time.

My wife was all "Long Island? Aren't those folks rich?"

While I'm certain not everyone who lives on Long Island is rich, it is a good possibility a given little leaguer from Long Island is more well-off than one from Appalachia or east L.A.

So "Why are wrestlers raising money for a well-off community? "

Reading the article today I came to answer my own question.

The event was put together in just three and a half weeks by little league executive director Jay Rogoff and it raised about $6,500 that will be put towards field improvements.

It comes back to the old adage about the number one reason people don't help out is because they were never asked.

In this case some adult involved in the area little league heard that TNA was going to put on a PPV on Long Island, and went ahead and called someone and they pulled off this charity softball fund raiser in less than 4 weeks earning over $6,000.

No matter what organization you are in or project is near and dear to you, just ask people to help, the worst thing that can happen is they say no.
