WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Purdue wrestling team hosts its annual "Hammer Down Cancer" dual Sunday, as it is set to square off with Iowa at 2 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 Tyler Trent Cancer Research Endowment.
The Boilermakers last held their "Hammer Down Cancer" event in 2021 in a dual against Illinois, raising $4,000 toward campus cancer research. This year's uniforms were donated once again by our friends at Rudis, a wrestling apparel company based out of Ohio.
The auctions for Sunday's singlets will be held online, with bids starting at $60 for 14 total singlets. Bids online will be accepted through the end of Sunday's dual meet, and singlets will be distributed to winners after being thoroughly cleaned. Fans who would like donate without biding can also do so on the auction website.
