Come out and join us for our biggest show of the year, The Kiefer Classic 2012! Why is it the biggest show for us? Because all of the Profits go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central & North Florida. We here at Guild were created on the basis of giving back to our community and what better way to do that than team up with the Make-A-Wish Foundation!
Again, unlikely alliances have teamed up to help fund 1 wish for kids 17 & under with life-threatening medical conditions. "The Make-A-Wish Foundation traces its beginning to one boy’s wish to be a Police Officer, and to date, more than 178,000 wishes have been granted to children with life-threatening medical conditions in the United States and its territories.There are Make-A-Wish Foundation chapters serving all areas of the United States, as well as international affiliates spanning five continents. Each chapter is responsible for granting wishes for eligible children within its designated geographic area and for raising the funds to fulfill those wishes."
On January 29th, 2012, Tallahassee Big Dog Rescue, Wilson Family Medicine, Fairview Middle School & Ballers On Budgets.com are happy to announce “The Kiefer Classic 2012”, a benefit wrestling show with the profits of the show going to the Make A Wish Foundation of Central & North Florida.
Susan Lynn Kiefer is the Sister to local independent wrestler Scott "Storm" Goodlin. She is the mother to 3 children; Cody (who has Downs Syndrome) Arron & Brayden. Cody & Arron enjoy many different things but the one thing they both enjoy more than anything is the time the family spends together, especially when wrestling is on. Arron's favorite is John Cena while Cody prefers The Undertaker.
On Memorial Day of 2009, 3 month old Brayden Robert Kiefer, had died during the night. Eight months later, on February 4, 2010, while riding in a car with a friend, Susan abruptly became unresponsive. As her friend pulled the car over, She realized that Susan wasn't breathing. She started performing CPR until the paramedics arrived. It was deemed that Susan had suffered Cardiac Arrest (she was only 35 years old). She was taken to the local hospital in Pensacola Fl, & diagnosed with an Aneurysm on the Brain Stem. After testing, there was nothing they could do at that facility, so she was airlifted to Shand's Hospital in Gainsville, Florida. As the family gathered in Gainsville, Susan survived 12 days before being pronounced Brain Dead on February 16, 2010. She was an organ donor, saving 5 people including a 16 YO girl who received her heart.
The First annual “Kiefer Classic” was held in Tallahassee, Fl in memory of Susan to assist the family in the funeral cost. Her Father, Husband, Kids, Sisters, Nieces and Nephews were all in attendance. Some of the best that Independent Wrestling has to offer today donated their time and energy free of charge to participate including “MD3” Morgan Davis , ½ of “First String” AJ Strokes, “Mr Pump Yo Brakes” Steve Goins, Jake Slater, and the eventual winner “The Port City Prodigy” Dallas Riley.
