Big Brothers Big Sisters invited to wrestling event

Another wrestling event is coming to North Bay and an invitation to all members of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Progrma of Ontario has been extended to fill the stands, free of charge.

North Bay Computer Doctors is sponsoring the event with Northland Wrestling.

Sheldon Forgette says his life changed when he became a Little Brother, and was paired with Norm Fischer.

“I used to be in trouble all the time in school, I used to be at the principals office a lot, I think a failed part of grade nine and when he got introduced into my life, it completely changed my world,” he says.

Forgette says Computer Doctors is doing the event for a couple of reasons.

“Not only to say thank-you to my Big Brother Norm, but it’s to bring awareness to Big Brothers Big Sisters in general and what it can do to change peoples lives,” he says.

The event goes August 26th at the North Bay Granite Club.

Forgette will be a special referee at the event.
