The MMA Shark more than triples last year’s donation to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with $33,512 contribution
The MMA Shark Does It AGAIN!!!!!
Former mixed martial arts promoter turned analyst, Paul Matreselva Jr. of TheMMAShark.com, and his wife Nicole, have not only doubled down on their annual commitment to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, but they have also tripled it…. and then some.
The Pennsylvania couple recently set out to do a good deed for a cause in which they have personal ties. The Matreselva’s believe in the cause at CHOP not only because one of their five sons was patient, but Paul himself was a Cancer patient.
The MMA Shark is a paid MMA handicapping service specializing in UFC /Bellator / PFL & LFA, among other promotions. The MMA Shark delivers event by event MMA picks directly via text message. While the site is not a betting site for players to put money down, Paul and his team do offer strategic betting advice that is opinionative in nature.
Last year, the Matreselva’s were pleasantly surprised to see their $10,000 donation to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) matched anonymously, bringing the total contribution to $20,000.
This year The MMA Shark and company have done it again.
“THIS is Christmas!” Paul wrote on social media.
“We raised $33,512 for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia! In our second year in business, we successfully spent last weekend raising money for CHOP! Thanks to the amazing generosity of The MMA Shark subscribers, and an incredibly successful show on whatnot where the MMA card community rallied together, we achieved this massive accomplish. This was for the children just in time for Christmas! Our campaign which raised $16,756.00 was matched by an anonymous donor to come up with this incredible donation!”
The collection came from earnings The MMA Shark’s subscribers contributed along with the company’s contribution following the last weekend’s UFC 296 fight card.
CHOP is the nation’s first hospital devoted exclusively to the care of children. CHOP has been the birthplace for countless breakthroughs and dramatic firsts in pediatric medicine. Built on a foundation of delivering safe, high-quality, family-centered care, the Hospital has fostered medical discoveries and innovations that have improved pediatric healthcare and saved countless children’s lives.
After being the promotor of a mixed martial arts promotion in northeastern Pennsylvania and giving plenty of UFC fighters their first few fights in the professional ranks, Paul would ultimately see his MMA career take a way different turn as he officially launched The MMA Shark in 2022.
As a charitable, nonprofit hospital, CHOP depends on philanthropy to advance its mission. Throughout the Hospital’s history, generous families, individuals, companies and foundations have made significant contributions to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Foundation.
