On September 8, 2012, Devon Hughes, teamed with “Hope for a Single Mom” in order to put on a family friendly wrestling show at Viera High School in Melbourne, FL.  All proceeds from the show went towards the “Hope for a Single Mom” charity.  The show which featured many of the Team 3D academy students was able to raise over $7,000.  This year’s event has grown in size and hopes to be even more of a success than last year.

The “Hope for a Single Mom” charity was started 3 years ago.  Every year, the two founders and the people at Breast Friends of Florida choose a single mother to raise money for in order to help with medical and other expenses that have been incurred to lost income while battling cancer.
