A Year of Growth on and off the Mat: Read Our New Newsletter
Dear Beat the Streets friends and supporters,
We’re excited to share our latest newsletter with you. Since the start of the year, the momentum from our 10th anniversary has fueled real growth. From expanding our Girls CAN movement to deepening partnerships to creating more opportunities for children and youth to learn, move and grow through wrestling. And while the world pushes young people toward screens, isolation and disconnection, Beat the Streets pulls them toward community, confidence and resilience. Principals are noticing the shift: more focus, more confidence, more willingness to take healthy risks.
Inside this newsletter, you’ll find:
Who has been supporting BTS and the impact of their generosity
How far the Girls CAN movement has come in just four months
Stories from participants, coaches, and teachers
A look at what we’re building for 2026

Every update reflects the real impact of our programs: changing lives, one match at a time.
