Teams of students put all the muscle they had into heaving a U-Haul truck down Olive Street Saturday afternoon to raise money for businesses on the Greencastle square.
Total Nonstop Wrestling, DePauw's wrestling club, hosted the event and raised $150 to donate to Greencastle Middle School.
"While we didn't have sponsors, there was a $10 entry fee," said first-year wrestler Evan Folger, "and we were given some money from the school to set things up."
Total Nonstop Wrestling hoped this event will draw the campus to the start-up of their club, which is new to campus this year.
"The goal of this event was to put DePauw's wrestling team on the map so that all could see that DePauw's wrestling team does do work," said David Johnson, president of Total Nonstop Wrestling.
He believes that they accomplished their goal.
"I feel that there was a great turnout for the overly busy weekend we chose with formals and in-formals, track, other sports and the dance marathon," Johnson said. "We had more than 70 people come out and support, eat, have fun and pull the truck."
The event included the truck pulling, an inflatable obstacle course and an abundance of grilled hamburgers and music. Teams included up to 13 people, and Phi Delta Theta Fraternity's team came out on top.
"We have been planning this event since last November," said Folger.
First-year Rudy Orozco, a member of Total Nonstop Wrestling, thought that the event went well.
"It was a great experience having everyone get together for a good cause, but having some fun at the same time," Orozco said. "I also liked the end when we had a full out pie fight."
At the end of the event, winners and spectators threw pies in celebration of the money raised.
"This will be an annual thing," said Folger. "Look for it next year and look for the wrestling club in general next year as it continues to grow."
The group has already set a date for the fall.
"We will be having the event once again on a less busier weekend," Johnson said, "September 27, 2014."
