WELCOME T0 THE NATIONAL WRESTLING
AND PERFORMANCE CENTER (NWPC)!
We own a building!
In May of 2024, we purchased
the former Emerald Foundation
and Jewish Community Center
at 2120 Oregon Pike in Lancaster,
Pennsylvania. The 9-acre property
and 30,000 square foot building has
a banquet room, gym, conference
and office spaces to accommodate
many different sizes of groups and
occasions.

December 2024
It has been a busy summer and fall here at the Center! As our calendar
year 2024 ends, the following photographs and descriptions will offer
you a vibrant glimpse of your charitable gifts in action, and of the power
of your volunteerism. I am grateful for the many visionaries, volunteers,
donors, and advisors who helped us purchase our new NWPC home this
summer, launched our programs this fall, and helped forge our collaborative
partnerships in wrestling and inner personal excellence training for men and
women of all ages and all walks of life. Stay tuned for more programming
and event news in the new year!
— Dave Joyner, Executive Director

Our Mission:

The National Wrestling and Performance Center has a twofold mission. One is to grow the sport of wrestling for all groups, to include men’s and women’s programs as well as underserved populations. Secondly, and equally important, is to enhance lifelong performance, leadership, and inner (personal) excellence. We will teach mental and emotional skills to diverse groups, including non-athletes. These skill sets are essential whether in sport, school or work.
