CAC - The Ring of Friendship
The Cauliflower Alley Club (CAC) is professional wrestling’s only 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, dedicated to assisting individuals from the wrestling industry who have entertained us for so many years. Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we’ve been able to provide critical aid to those in need.
A Commitment to Compassion
Since its founding by Mike Mazurki in 1965, the CAC has distributed over a million dollars through our benevolent fund, supporting countless individuals who have faced financial hardships. Our contributions have gone toward medical expenses, funeral costs, home repairs after disasters, and many other legitimate needs.

Our leadership team is entirely volunteer-based, donating their time and talents to raise funds for those who made their living in the wrestling industry. This dedication ensures that the majority of our resources go directly to helping those who need it most.
Respecting Privacy, Honoring Legacy
While we respect the privacy of those we assist, some individuals have allowed us to share their names to highlight the impact of the CAC’s mission. Legends such as Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Brickhouse Brown, Ox Baker, Kamala, Don Fargo, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, Jerry Gray, Joyce Grable, and Koko B. Ware have benefited from the kindness and generosity of our supporters.
How You Can Make a Difference
The CAC is powered by its members and supporters. Whether through membership, attending our annual reunions, or making financial contributions, your involvement directly supports our mission. Donations to the CAC are 100% tax-deductible and help sustain our ability to provide vital assistance to the wrestling community.
This is your club. Together, we can continue to make a difference for our brothers and sisters in the wrestling industry.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and ongoing support.
CAC Mission Statement

The Executive Board may financially assist other people from the wrestling industry that do not meet the 3-year criteria, on a case-by-case request and to be determined by a majority rule of the Executive Board. Moreover, the CAC is staffed entirely by volunteers who tirelessly devote their time and energy to the stated cause of the CAC. In addition, the CAC is monetarily supported by the generous donations made by its members and donors. The CAC appreciates these contributions of both time and monetary resources.

History of the CAC
It all began at the Barons’s Castle Buffet Restaurant in Los Angeles, with weekly get-togethers comprised of Mike Mazurki and Al Bafferts’ wrestling and movie friends, plus promoter George Parnassus’ boxing friends. Mazurki owned the restaurant, which was in the Los Angeles Elks Club building.
