Huskie Wrestling Seeks 2018-19 Sponsors

Huskie Wrestling Family | Aug 21, 2018 12:00 AM

Dear Huskie Wrestling Family Supporter,

Thank you for your consistent support of the Huskie Wrestling Family over the years.  We are extremely grateful for your continued generosity.

As you know, for the truly dedicated, the wrestling season never ends and our Huskies are no exception. Fresh off of taking 2nd place at the 2018 IHSA dual team state tournament, the Huskies rolled right into Freestyle and Greco-Roman season. The young men and women of the Huskie Wrestling Family continued to excel in the spring and summer of 2018:

  • 1 state champion and 2 All-State wrestlers at Frosh-Soph State

  • Our first Girls’ State All-State wrestler

  • 6 Huskie wrestlers and 5 club wrestlers competed at Freestyle Nationals, with 1 All-American

  • 6 Huskie wrestlers and 4 club wrestlers competed at Greco-Roman Nationals, with 1 All-American

  • 9 Huskie wrestlers competed at Midwest Nationals, with 3 All-Americans

  • 9 Huskie wrestlers and 3 coaches traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah for the annual Senior service trip

  • 100% of graduating seniors continuing on to post-high school education or military service

The Huskie Wrestling Family exists to provide the young men and women of the OPRF Huskie wrestling program with athletic and educational opportunities to help them develop into upstanding citizens of the Oak Park and River Forest area and the larger world. We believe that wrestling and related activities builds character and teaches life lessons that go far beyond the edges of the wrestling mat. When our wrestlers compete against the best that Illinois and the nation have to offer, they learn that they measure up against anyone, and that no obstacle is insurmountable as they move on in life.

This year’s Senior trip was a mixture of hiking and service.  The wrestlers and coaches worked at Habitat for Humanity’s “Field of Dreams” jobsite in Salt Lake City where they laid rebar, hung siding, and finished concrete walls. They also hiked various trails throughout Utah and had nightly discussions about honesty, relationships, responsibility, and pushing to their edge in all aspects of life.

As wrestling season never truly ends, neither does our need to raise needed funds to support our programs. Your contributions provide the young men and women of the wrestling program with opportunities around the state, country, and world. This coming season, we will be wrestling in New York, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota in addition to wrestling the best that Illinois has to offer throughout our regular season.  Won’t you please lend your support again this year?

Donations of any amount are welcomed and gratefully accepted.  Checks can be mailed to 427 Thomas Ave, Forest Park, IL 60130, or you can donate online at oprfwrestling.com.  

We thank you.

Sincerely,

Patrick R. Woulfe, Treasurer
