Banquet - The Thank-You's!

tables set for the banquet

  "The FALL" Fan Club hosted the annual Wrestling Awards Banquet for 2013-14 on Saturday, April 12, in the Club at Reser Stadium. The Social hour began at 5:00 with guests vying for silent auction items and door prizes. Dinner started at 6:00, followed by the program.

Before I go into the award winners, "The FALL" Board would like to acknowledge all of those who supported the banquet with their donations of materials or cash.

First of all, thank you to Egan Gardens of Salem, Oregon, and Fessler Nursery of Woodburn, Oregon, for the blooming plants decorating the tables and stage! The plants add a festive touch to the room.

Thank you to all of the contributors of items used in the silent auction, Ron & Vi Brown, Don & Julie Hoskins, Craig Scharer and Ila Elder! Ila's donations were made in the memory of her late husband and ace Oregon State Wrestling fan, Marvin Elder. We miss you, Marvin!!

Thank you to our emcees, who took on the job for the first time this year, Associate Head Coach Troy Steiner and his sidekick, Assistant Coach Kevin Roberts! Nice job, guys!

This year we used a new system of donation levels. We had Pac-12 Champion Level - donations of $25-$49, NCAA All-American - donations of $50-$99, NCAA Champion donors made gifts of $100-$199 and finally, Hall of Fame Donors gave gifts of $200+. We really appreciate these donations, the banquet could not happen without them. A very big thank you to all of the following donors:
