FLORENCE, WI -- The Florence Youth Wrestling program is a little closer to having enough money to buy new wrestling mats. They received a $500 grant from Trans Canada. They need $9,000 for the new mats; so far they've saved up about $5,000.

The Florence Youth Wrestling team is funded through donations. It allows kids from preschool through eighth grade to join at no cost.

There are 35 kids currently enrolled in the program.
