Upcoming wrestling event in Breckenridge to benefit BISD
When the Rampage Wrestling event comes to Breckenridge later this month, a portion of the ticket sales and all of the concession stand proceeds will benefit the Breckenridge Independent School District.
The wrestling promotion company from Lubbock will present “Boomtown Beatdown” on Saturday, June 29, at the Breckenridge High School main gym, on the corner of Second and Live Oak streets.
Casey Pearce, BISD Athletic Director, said the 50/50 ticketing split will provide funding for the LiveStream Team at BHS. “Calvin Best and crew will be the beneficiaries of the event. The funds will help them purchase equipment to expand the growing Livestream Program,” Pearce said in an email. “Additional cameras, generators, equipment cases, and tripods are needed to further this group’s reach with athletics and other extracurricular activities. They plan to go live at the Stephens Co. Stock Show in 2025 and on the road for the fall football season.”
Additionally, the concessions, another key aspect of the school’s fundraising, will be managed by BISD Athletic Department volunteers, including the Pearce family and a few others. “The support of others is invaluable in making this event a success,” Pearce said. “We’re grateful for their commitment and look forward to a fun-filled event.”
Tickets to the event cost $10 each for general admission and $20 for VIP and can be purchased online at www.RampageWrestling.eventbrite.com or at the door on the night of the event.
The doors are scheduled to open at 6 p.m. for VIP ticket holders and at 6:30 p.m. for general admission. The bell time will be at 7 p.m.
According to the promotional information on the Rampage Wrestling Facebook page, the matchups will include Jamie Holley vs Sonny Guapo, Ryder Cage vs The Son of Black, Lucha Dad vs DL Hartley, and more.
