ABOUT US

SO WHAT’S OUR WHOLE DEAL

  • We salute the inspiration for our version of this event, CLAW (Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers). Founded over 15 years ago, CLAW has raised more than $100,000 total for several Charlottesville-area women-initiated causes at their events.

    Yeah, that Charlottesville, the one with the tiki torches.

    Charlottesville, Virginia is our founder’s hometown, Gentry volunteered as an entourage member for a Lady Arm Wrestler competitor, illustrated promotional materials for CLAW, and was a packaging designer for the events’ host, Champion Brewing Co.

    “It meant the absolute world to me, especially in 2016/2017, to see the city come out in droves and be able to cheer on women at an event that was lighthearted and fun on its face, but directly supported local charities for causes that were suddenly in danger of being upended in our society at large. You could feel an electricity, it gave a lot of people an outlet and way to feel impactful.”

  • “We want this to be a really fun cause that is about just empowering women and making them feel strong and seen, and just have a great time. It’s supposed to be a friendly environment that’s really approachable. We want people to be proud of the hand they had in helping a local charity.”

  • Thanks to y’all, we raised just short of $5,000 in gross proceeds at our inaugural event and have over 4,000 followers on Instagram. We’ve reached over 90k accounts on social media, and are actively looking to partner with businesses for sponsorships in addition to the southern non-profits for women’s causes we benefit at each event.

    We are growing our cast of Lady Arm Wrestlers by promoting applications to our roster and actively searching for volunteers for the day-of event. We can’t thank y’all enough for your continued support in benefiting women in the South, and can’t wait to kick ass and do good hand-in-hand with you.
