Help Support OSU Wrestling With the Banquet

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

Just a week left to get your reservations in to join the coaches, wrestlers and other fans in celebrating the season just past and looking forward to the future!

One of the main functions of "The FALL" Fan Club besides increasing fan fun and fan numbers is to sponsor the annual Awards Banquet for the wrestling team.

Every year we raise money toward the banquet by selling door prize tickets and Silent Auction items at the Socials. Another way is by asking for donations specifically for the banquet.

If you have opened the file for the reservation form you have seen the section for donations. The levels of donation are equivalent to one, two, four or eight persons. All donors' names will be listed on the back of the program under the appropriate level of gifting.

So how can you help? Here are several suggestions:

  • Come to the Banquet, buy extra door prize tickets, you could even win some great prizes!
  • Bring a special item to offer as a Silent Auction item, in the past we've had paintings, sculptures, gift baskets, Beaver gear, even Blazer tickets!
  • Come to the Banquet plus give a donation to help feed some hungry wrestlers!
  • If you can't come to the Banquet, you can still mail in a donation with the reservation form
  • Don't want to mess with the mail? Use "The FALL"'s online portal to make a donation - go to the site, scroll down below membership to the donation section, either use one of the amounts listed, or enter an amount of your choosing in the empty box and hit the "donate" button!
Mostly, we'd like to have a large crowd on hand to let the wrestlers know that they and their hard work all season are appreciated by the fans!

Why are we asking for donations right now? Well, it has been a season where the schedule has been kind of different. The odd dates and times have led to smaller crowds at the Socials, so the Treasury is not as equipped to handle the expense of the ever increasing costs of catering.

Don't forget, get your reservation form in by this coming Friday, March 31. The Banquet will be April 8, but we need time to get the head count for the caterer, make the programs, etc.

Thank you! Go Beavs!
