Beat the Streets New York (BTSNY) Executive Director, Jim Fallis announced today that BTSNY and FloSports will partner to live stream all the matches on May 21, in Times Square, as part of the annual fundraising Gala.

“This is an historic partnership in that it is the first time that we will have a media partner that will stream all the matches and work hand in hand in the marketing of our event," said Fallis. "As we grow and continue to provide more kids in New York City with the opportunity to beat the streets through wrestling, bringing our message to a larger audience will be critical. This partnership is a huge step in doing that and taking our event to the next level. I want to thank FloSports and all the people that made this possible and we look forward to the thousands of fans that will be able to enjoy live streaming of over 30 matches during the day.”

"We're really excited to work with Beat the Streets New York to live stream this high-profile wrestling event," FloSports CEO Martin Floreani said. "It's a fantastic opportunity to highlight some really talented wrestlers and also to raise awareness for a non-profit that is doing excellent work with youth."

Broadcasting will begin at 3:45 PM EST on Thursday, May 21 on FloWrestling.org with matches that will highlight wrestlers from Beat the Streets New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. There will be five matches featuring girls and wrestlers from five different states.

During the Cuba vs USA match, BTSNY will present their annual outstanding awards to student athletes from the BTS program.

The line-up for the main event will be released shortly.
