WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue wrestling team hosts its annual "Hammer Down Cancer" dual Friday, set to square off with Illinois at 7 p.m. ET in Holloway Gymnasium. The Boilermakers will wear special edition singlets, which will be auctioned off with all proceeds going to support the Purdue Center for Cancer Research.
The Boilermakers last held their "Hammer Down Cancer" event in 2020, raising $2,680 toward campus cancer research. This year's uniforms were donated by Rudis, a wrestling apparel company based out of Ohio.
The auctions for Friday's singlets will be held online, with bids starting at $100 for 13 total singlets. Cash and check donations can also be made at Friday's dual at the fan experience table. Bids online will be accepted through the end of Friday's dual meet, and singlets will be distributed to winners after being cleaned.
