Us Nationals & "Dam Proud" Day

Oregon State Wrestling Fans,

A couple of items from the news in the world of wrestling that the coaches wanted me to pass along to you - One is the Oregon State sponsored "Dam Proud" Day, the other is the US Nationals coming up this week, beginning tomorrow.

If you got the coaches' email from yesterday, then you've read about "Dam Proud" Day already. If you passed over the email you can either read it below my signature, or open it as a pdf file attached to this email. If you just want to get the link to donate, here it is:

Thank you to Coach Ian Miller for sending the pdf and the link.

The big wrestling event coming up this week is the US Nationals. A group of Oregon State wrestlers will be going down to Las Vegas to compete. If you'd like to keep track of them and how they are doing, the US Nationals will be covered by FloWrestling. In fact, if you are a subscriber, you should be able to watch the whole thing.

Greetings Beaver Wrestling Alumni and Friends,

On Tuesday, April 30th, Oregon State University will introduce the first-ever university-wide Day of Giving branded Dam Proud Day. Alumni and friends of Oregon State will be asked to support many campus wide initiatives that day by giving gifts to their respective college, academic unit or the Athletics Department. OSU Athletics will play an active role in this day of giving by asking student-athlete alumni to show they are Dam Proud by making a gift to the sport they participated in while at OSU. Gifts to our Wrestling program will:

• Support our annual operations budget which includes recruiting expenses
• Improve equipment and mats that get used on a regular basis

There is a lot of excitement here in Corvallis about OSU Dam Proud Day and on April 30 I will be in touch with information that will enable you to support our program through an online gift. If you would prefer to mail a check or make a donation over the phone, please contact me or the Our Beaver Nation office (541-737-2370).  As a former OSU Wrestler, we hope youll support us on April 30th! If you have questions or would like to get involved, please reach out to me.  I look forward to sharing the results from Giving Day in the weeks to come.
The link below will take you to a short video and the donation website.
Dam Proud Day

Go Beavs!
