Changes to The Fall Fan Club

Beaver Wrestling Supporters,

Over the past six months, the coaching staff, Athletic Dept and volunteers from The Fall and the Wrestling Endowment Fund have worked on revamping The Fall.  The plan is to bring these efforts to one streamlined organization.  

With combined leadership and representation from the Wrestling Endowment Fund board and what was previously The Fall, we hope that our lines of communication, marketing and fundraising will increase efficiencies and results.  Bob Tomasovic and I are co-chairing the first term of this new committee which has 2 segments.  Brandon Perkins is tracking the Wrestling Endowment Fund contributions, market growth, distributions, etc while Craig Scharer is heading up the Engagement responsibilities (planning socials and hosting events).  Other valued members of our committee include John Kowalewski, Scott Lewis, Jim Hamer, Larry Bielenberg, Bob Hawkins, Paul Benzel.  And we are always looking for more people to join us.   

The new entity we're inviting everyone to join is The Takedown Team, alumni and friends of Oregon State Wrestling.  If you were thinking of donating $100 for Dam Proud Day, that covers membership and entrance to the socials for the 2021-22 season.  

We are currently at 6 gifts and $3305 which can be tracked by clicking the orange button below.  Please see below email in support of Dam Proud Day from alums Curt Willener & Ron Sather. 

Go Beavs!

To: 

Hello Wrestling Alumni,  Thinking back to our days in Corvallis, we cannot help but wonder how the events of the last year would have impacted our experience. We have an immense sense of pride when we think about how current wrestling student-athletes have navigated the last year, both in competition and the classroom. By now you may have heard from Coach Pendleton about Dam Proud Day, a day celebrating OSU.  While we root for the Beavers all year long, Dam Proud Day is a special opportunity to let them know that we are here for them, like alumni were there for us. Your donation on April 28 to wrestling will be used for additional upgrades to our practice space, including a new scoreboard and speakers. Recently, Coach Pendleton purchased new mats for this practice facility and know that these additional upgrades will make an impact on our sport. On Dam Proud Day 2019, 325 student-athlete alumni donated to support their former program. Let’s work together to increase the participation from alumni this year! You can make your gift directly to the program by clicking the link below. As wrestling student-athlete alumni, we hope you will join us on April 28 to show you are Dam Proud to be a Beaver! Go Beavs! Ron Sather OSU Wrestling ‘74 Curt Willener OSU Wrestling ‘04

ARE YOU DAM PROUD?
