This Sunday you can hit the mat for a good cause.

UNC Associate Head Coach Cary Kolat is a former two-time NCAA champion and a member of the 2000 Olympic Wrestling team. He’s hosting a unique training opportunity this weekend- a charity wrestling clinic to help a young girl battling cancer.

The five hour clinic costs $30 per person, with the proceeds going toward medical expenses for Mackenzie Garrett, a two-year-old undergoing surgery and chemotherapy for liver cancer.

The event starts at 10 a.m. in the Wrestling Room at Fetzer Gym. To find out more and pre-register, email Karen Veltri: Karveltri(AT)gmail.com.
