Fall Term Bulletin Board - Sept 25, 2019

From the coaching staff:

Good Morning from Oregon State Wrestling!

We hope this email finds you well! Its the first day of Fall Term here at OSU, and with that we have some upcoming events to inform you about.

Our first Open Mat session, which you are all encouraged to attend, will take place before the start of the home football game against Stanford on Saturday, Sept. 28. We will begin at 1 p.m. that afternoon up in the OSU Wrestling Facility located just north of Reser Stadium and will run up to the start of the game at 4 p.m.

If you would like to attend the football game against Stanford you can contact the Oregon State Athletics Ticket Office, or purchase online at BeaverTickets.com.

Mark your calendars for the evening of Saturday, Oct. 5 as we host our Second Annual Fall Kickoff Fundraiser Dinner at the Benton County Fairgrounds. Everyone is invited to gather for an evening that includes dinner, multiple auctions, a season recap and look into the upcoming year ahead from the OSU coaching staff. 

Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. followed with a reception, silent auction, dinner, and main auction in an evening filled with opportunities to socialize with current student-athletes, alumni and fans. Dinner tickets can be purchased in advance of the event for $30 per person. Sponsorship tables are available for families or businesses to purchase a 6-8 person table for $500. For more details and to register visit OrangeCrushWrestling.com

If you have any items that you or any business you are affiliated with that would like to be donated to our fundraiser auctions please reach out to Volunteer Assistant Coach, Jason Lara: orangecrushwrestling@gmail.com

Our first Tailgate of the season will follow an Open Practice session on Saturday, Oct. 12 when Oregon State hosts Utah for a Pac-12 matchup in Reser Stadium. We will hold an open practice in the wrestling facility for all to see followed with food and socializing outside of the facility leading up to kickoff.

If you would like to attend the football game against Utah you can contact the Oregon State Athletics Ticket Office, or purchase online at BeaverTickets.com.

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
