We will be giving one dollar for every wrestler entered at the East Kansas Open and the Donna Woofter Memorial Novice tournament.
The funds will help support college wrestling and insure that we have college wrestling opportunities for our future college wrestlers. I hope this idea will catch on across the state!

This is a wonderful cause for all of the Kansas wrestling community. Our sport needs this and our Kansas colleges with wrestling programs need this. Ultimately our Kansas wrestling youth will be the beneficiaries of our support for this fund.
Great work to all of you.

HOW YOU CAN HELP!
In order for this fund to be effective we are going to need a statewide effort. If anyone knows of a business or individual that would like to help this cause and can use a tax write-off please forward the information on to those individuals. If every club and or high school team could set a goal and raise $100-$250 for this fund - our collegiate state programs will be much stronger. In Kansas we have over 400 teams/clubs between high schools and club teams. It is one of the KCWF goals for all our athletes to obtain a College or Vocational Technical College Degree. The kids, young men and women wrestling today will be coaches for future generations. This is a forever fund - LONG AFTER WE are GONE. Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
KCWF Committee

Dear Friends of Wrestling:
The time has arrived for the Kansas College Wrestling Fund (KCWF). We have partnered with USA Wrestling-KS, the Kansas Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association, the business community, and our Kansas Wrestling families. Respectfully, we ask your consideration for a donation to our “KCWF Forever Fund.”
Far too many college/university wrestling programs have been lost the last few decades. The recent announcement that perennial NCAA D II powerhouse U. of Nebraska-Omaha (UNO) discontinued its wrestling program shocked the entire wrestling community nationwide. Who would have thought that a university whose team had just won its third consecutive National Championship would be dropped? Given this happened to a stellar program recently, we all acknowledge any and all college wrestling programs are now vulnerable.
Every time a program is cut, our student athletes lose their chance at a college wrestling and educational experience/opportunity that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. How do we combat this erosion of college wrestling programs in our nation, and in particular, in our state of Kansas?
We believe that the wrestling community (wrestlers, parents, coaches, referees, fans and other interested parties) needs to step up and financially support our current in-state programs. Let’s build a fund that will give a noticeable and strong level of support to our existing Kansas college programs. By participating in the “KCWF Forever Fund” college wrestling opportunities will be alive and well in our state for decades to come!
The KCWF will be a “Forever Fund.” It will serve the wrestling community for decades to come. For this initiative to become successful we ALL need to support it with our financial contributions, talent, and time.
There are many ways to customize your contribution and any assistance provided will be tremendously appreciated. No donation is too small! If you personally cannot contribute, that is understandable. Perhaps you know of someone or a business that will be interested … feel free to pass this letter forward.
In closing, please consider the “KCWF Forever Fund.” And please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions. Thank you very much for your time and consideration for the Kansas College Wrestling Fund!
Sincerely,
Sean McCarthy, Chairman
KCWF Forever Fund

Alot of you might know about Olympic Coach Joe Seay, World title-Sammy Henson, Champion-Tony Purler, What did they have in common? Advocare was in there bag or on there shelf! Joe wouldn't train you without it. So What I'm offering to help this sport out as an ex-wrestler myself. If any one buys the products from me or wants to have a fund raiser, and "you make all the money" (I get the glory, you get all money from it, I just the glory that I helped)
Contact Kevin Clem @ 316-871-8845 Why give your money to Walmart? When anyone buys the "Rehydrate, Vitamins, Spark nutritional, anything, you get the funds! I might add that you wouldn't have to handle any product, I can do that for you, but I would have to know its from your club or going to the College fund.
