Best in Backyards, New York and Connecticut’s leading provider of swing sets and other recreational backyard amenities, announces its sponsorship of Boy Scout Troop No. 1 for “Wrestle Cure.” The charitable event is a Pro Wrestling show that features performers from the WWE, TNA, ECW and WCW, and all proceeds will benefit Cystic Fibrosis and “Freezing for a Reason.”

Wrestle Cure will take place on November 8th at 7 p.m. at the old High School in Mahopac N.Y. The Pro Wrestling show will feature performers formerly of the WWE, TNA, ECW, WCW, as well as the hottest unsigned talent from the independent circuit. All proceeds with go to Freezing for a Reason to benefit Cystic Fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that causes the thick buildup of mucus, damaging the body’s organs and the impairing respiratory tract. According to the Genetics Homepage Reference (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/cystic-fibrosis), the disease “occurs in 1 in 2,500 to 3,500 Caucasian newborns. Cystic fibrosis is less common in other ethnic groups, affecting about 1 in 17,000 African Americans and 1 in 31,000 Asian Americans.”

Joseph Di Silvio, Jr., is a committee member of Boy Scout Troop 1, and has always taught his scouts that scouting is more than just belonging to a group; instead, scouting defines character and teaches morals that the boys can take with them later in life.

"Scouting is more than just what we do; it's who we are and who we will be," said Di Silvio, Jr. “We all know and are encouraged every day to live by this motto.”
President of Best in Backyards, Scott Honigsberg, is always looking to help out those in – you’ve got it -- his own backyard. The backyard amenities provider sells and installs cedar swing sets, trampolines, sheds, rubber mulch, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, basketball systems, and more.

“We’re proud to help out our neighbors,” said Honigsberg. “We hope everyone shows up to Wrestle Cure, and we’re here to help spread the word about Cystic Fibrosis and to give our support.”
