The spirit of community-driven philanthropy is hitting an all-time high in Portland, as a growing coalition of local businesses commits significant resources to the 12th Annual Pro Wrestling Entertainment “Christmas for Kids” charity event. Leading the charge on holiday cheer this year are major industry players Gastite, a Division of Titeflex Corp., and ProAdvantage Staffing Solutions, who are proudly sponsoring the provision of FREE Christmas gifts for ALL children 10 years old and younger attending the show.
This unprecedented level of sponsorship creates a safety net of generosity, ensuring that every young attendee walks away with a memorable gift, regardless of their family’s economic situation. The massive charity event is scheduled for Saturday, December 13th, at the Richland Gym.
The Corporate Lineup: Local Leaders Investing in Local Futures
The collaboration goes far beyond a simple donation; it represents a comprehensive commitment by Portland’s business leaders to the well-being of local families.
Gastite, Division of Titeflex Corp., a global leader in the manufacturing of flexible gas piping systems, is one of the area’s largest and most established employers. For decades, the company has championed safety and quality in its industry. By dedicating resources to the children’s gift drive, they are extending their philosophy of building and securing futures directly to the community where their employees live and work.
ProAdvantage Staffing Solutions, a key staffing and workforce partner for many businesses in Sumner County, focuses on connecting the right talent with opportunity. Their sponsorship directly supports the children of the very workforce they serve, reinforcing their mission to strengthen local communities through employment and engagement.
PWE Promoter Jason James was ecstatic about the combined corporate strength: “This is a historic year for ‘Christmas for Kids’,” said James. “To have two industry anchors like Gastite and ProAdvantage Staffing come together is truly overwhelming. Their contribution removes the biggest hurdle to this event—ensuring every child walks out with a new toy and a smile. They are making the magic of Christmas accessible to everyone, which is the heart of what PWE aims to do.”
A Main Event for Charity
The event itself promises high-flying wrestling action that caters to all ages, headlined by the enormous talent of AEW Superstar Satnam Singh, a major draw ensuring a packed house for the charity effort. General Admission is available for a ticket price of $10, but PWE ensures that the financial barrier to entry is lowered dramatically for families:
Guaranteed Free Gifts: Every child aged 10 and under receives a FREE Christmas gift at the event.
Children 10 and under also receive FREE General Admission when accompanied by a paid adult.
The All-Star Sponsorship Team
Gastite and ProAdvantage Staffing join an already impressive roster of committed local sponsors, making this one of the most robust charity endeavors in Portland’s history:
Co-Presenting Sponsors: Big Poppa Corn, the local gourmet popcorn favorite, and Butt Plumbing, a long-trusted local service provider, are co-presenting the entire night of wrestling action.
Fighting Local Hunger: Beyond toys and entertainment, PWE is leveraging the event’s popularity to benefit the community through its partnership with the Hands of Hope Food Pantry. Fans who bring three or more canned food items to the Richland Gym box office will receive $1 off their general admission ticket, turning every cheer into real-world community aid.
The “Christmas for Kids 2025” show is shaping up to be more than just PWE’s biggest show of the year; it’s a powerful statement of solidarity, proving that when Portland’s diverse economic sectors—from manufacturing and staffing to plumbing and gourmet snacks—unite, the entire community enjoys a richer, happier holiday season.
