Good Morning from Oregon State Wrestling!

We hope this email finds you well! We finally begin our 2019-20 season tomorrow as we host our annual Orange & Black Scrimmage inside of Gill Coliseum!

ORANGE & BLACK SCRIMMAGE & PRE-SOCIAL TAILGATE

We are quickly approaching our Orange & Black Scrimmage on Wednesday, October 30 at 7 p.m. This is the first chance to see your Beavers in some live matches before they hit the road for the Appalachian State Invite on November 9.

We will be hosting a pre-social tailgate to kick off the event beginning at 5:30 p.m. outside of the OSU Wrestling Facility. There will be a small selection of snacks and drinks to be served leading up to the start of the scrimmage. All fan, family and friends are strongly encouraged to attend!

A simple live stream of the scrimmage will be available on our Facebook page on Wednesday beginning at 7 p.m. PT: facebook.com/BeaverWrestling

NCAA TOURNAMENT TICKETS

This upcoming March the NCAA Tournament will take place in the largest venue the event has ever seen; U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Given the large capacity the NCAA will give each institution the amount of tickets they ask for. Due to this fact, if you tell us that you want tickets a credit card number will be needed as these tickets are GUARANTEED. IF YOU ORDER TICKETS THROUGH US YOU WILL GET AND YOU WILL BE STUCK WITH THEM.

If you are interested in securing your tickets for the NCAA Tournament please reach out to Assistant Coach, Taylor Meeks before JANUARY 1, 2020: Taylor.Meeks@oregonstate.edu

THE 100 CLUB

One of our new initiatives this year which serves as a replacement to our Pledge for Pins drive in the past is The 100 Club: It is designed to help the growth of the Beaver Regional Training Center (RTC). The money gifted goes directly to the Beaver RTC which is a Nonprofit Organization that supports the travel and training expenses associated with the RTC.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 this season. For example, that is 1,000 individuals donating $100 each. If you would like to join the 100 Club please print out this FORM and mail it to our PO Box. The address to which is on the form.
