I can empathisize with Nix. In a similar boat when I was a kid and if it wasn't for wrestling and wonderful folks supporting it I definitely would not be where I am today.
I like Nix's idea. If it gets going let me know and I will contribute.
For local clubs here is one thing we instituted and you can try...
We have different types of fundraisers that individuals can do in order to pay for their wrestling. We also offer scholarships. Personally, as a coach, I like the fundraiser idea because it provides us the opportunity to teach kids the life lesson of working for something if you want it bad enough. We have had a pretty fair amount of success with this approach.
If anyone is interested in specific things we do please contact me.
