NEW
YORK, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tug-of-War
Mania, the nation's largest Tug-of-War competition, today announced
that it will hold its New York Championships on June 1, 2024, at the Bethpage Federal Credit
Union Stadium located at LIU Post, with the proceeds going to St.
Jude Children's Research Hospital, and to the family of fallen hero
Officer Jonathan Diller.
In speaking with local residents, one can sense the team spirit
and competitive juices already starting to flow. There's palpable
excitement in the air as they begin to prepare for what is sure to
be a fun, yet extremely intense and challenging, day of battle.
"Me and my friends can't wait to get into this. We are putting
our team together now. Everyone wants to win medals and trophies.
Everyone wants to have fun and get down and dirty. That's what it's
all about. We're really happy they decided to come to Long Island," said John Callahan of Plainview, New York.
Competitors can enter their team, consisting of 8 pullers and 1
coach, on the company's website: www.tugofwarmania.com. Registering
early is recommended, as space will fill up quickly. It's not only
competitors who want in on the action—many we spoke with have
already begun buying tickets to watch the epic battles take place.
Close to 10,000 spectators are expected, making for what promises
to be an electric atmosphere. Spectator tickets can also be
purchased on the company's website.
First-responder fans are in for a very special treat, as members
of their beloved police and fire departments will take their
rivalries from the street to the tug-of-war field. In the main
event, Nassau County's Finest will square off and battle it out
with their counterpart Suffolk County's Finest, and Nassau County
Fire Departments will go head-to-head with Suffolk County Fire
Departments as they wage war against each other to determine who
will be king of the hill. One will be crowned Tug-of-War Mania New
York Champions. This will be one for the ages.
"After hearing the horrific news about Officer Diller, we were
all deeply saddened, and we knew we had to do something to assist
the family. The best way we can do that is by donating a portion of
the proceeds directly to them. This will take place on June 1, 2024, after the event at The Bethpage
Federl Credit Union Stadium. In fact, we have decided to do this
annually. We will be giving the Diller family a portion of the
proceeds of every Tug-of-War Mania event held in New York
from here on out. We encourage everyone to do their part in helping
Officer Diller's family by registering to compete or getting
tickets to watch this great event." stated the company's CEO,
J. C. Dunleavy.
