Somerton Wrestling hits the car wash for a cause at Taco Monster in Yuma

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Somerton High "Toros Locos" Wrestling Team rolled up their sleeves and got sudsy Saturday at Taco Monster in Yuma, hosting a car wash fundraiser to support their growing high school wrestling program.

With water flying, towels waving, and plenty of team spirit, the community was invited to swing by, get their cars cleaned, and contribute to a great cause.

Coach Jose Nunez, who's been instrumental in building the program from the ground up, shared why events like these are vital:

"We're a fairly new school, so we're trying to get warmups. We already got singlets, headgears...but this year, we're trying to get the kids warm-ups for the boys, girls, and then also varsity and and JV. So we're out here doing this."

The team has already made strides by securing basic wrestling gear, and now they're focused on leveling up with full warmups for all athletes: JV and varsity, boys and girls alike.

Coach Nunez also mentioned upcoming fundraising events, including a golf tournament at Cocopah Resort on June 7, which will help keep the momentum going throughout the summer. For those wanting to stay connected, more details are available on the team's Instagram and Facebook pages.

Saturday's car wash was more than just a scrub-down. It was a show of community support and team pride. Let's keep showing up for the Toros Locos!
