Stay tuned to ICW Central West social media for the date of the 2025 Emma Butler Memorial Wrestling Show

ICW Central West and Emma`s Tongue Cancer Charity present:

THE EMMA BUTLER MEMORIAL WRESTLING SHOW

The 2nd memorial wrestling show held to commemorate the late girlfriend of promoter and Cowra based wrestler James "High Octane'' Lanham (and 6th full scale event promoted by ICW Central West, 9th event in total including matches held as part of major community events) will be held in our all new venue the Uniting Church Hall in Cowra NSW!

This event will be raising awareness of Tongue Cancer and awareness and funds for Emma`s Tongue Cancer Charity, a registered charity started by the family of the wonderful Emma Butler, the girlfriend of the event host who sadly passed away from tongue cancer at the age of 34 having had no risk factors or lifestyle choices that would lead to this cancer. Our previous memorial event raised funds that were used to purchase early cancer detection scopes that were donated to doctors and dentists in Cowra as well as Emma`s hometowns of Dubbo and Wellington. $1 from every ticket sold as well as proceeds from the raffle will be donated to the charity! We also plan to sell T-shirts with the Emma`s Tongue Cancer Charity logo on them at the event to help raise additional funds for the charity. You can make a donation to Emma's Tongue Cancer Charity at this website:
