Caldwell Youth Wrestler Raises $1200 For St. Jude Hospital

CALDWELLS, NJ — A student at Grover Cleveland Middle School in Caldwell recently emerged victorious in a Pennsylvania wrestling tournament in more ways than one.

As part of the Pin Cancer Tournament held in Easton, Pennsylvania earlier this month, Christian Stocker raised $1,200 to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Stocker wrestled in honor of his friend, Monique, according to his mother, Michelle, who called it a “great accomplishment for an 11-year-old.”

Stocker wrestles for Caldwell Recreation and will be entering Grover Cleveland Middle School in the fall.
