Let's show we are Dam Proud of OSU Wrestling

Beaver Wrestling Supporters,
 
I hope that most or all of you received the following email last week from Coach P inviting everyone to support the Wrestling Program at Oregon State by contributing on Dam Proud Day.  What is Dam Proud Day?  On Wed 4/28 various programs (athletic, scholastic, etc) will be focused on both participation of giving and dollars raised, ear-marked for the specific team or dept. 

Please see the attached PDF which has additional info about Dam Proud Day.

Some highlights: 
-The wrestling coaches targeted fundraising for an ice machine (the atheletic trainer is currently hauling ice from the Valley Center), and a scoreboard and audio system for the practice room.
-A generous alumni and spouse have pledged to match $5K!!
-We are currently at 4 gifts received and $3100 before the match. Thank you!  Everyone can follow the stats by clicking on the orange button below.
-Coach Mike Kosoy has promised he'll be leading some fun things over social media on 4/28.  Stay tuned for more details! 

Go Beavs!

The second annual Dam Proud Day is April 28!

 


 

 

Greetings OSU Wrestling Family & Friends,

 

The last year has been one of change and uncertainty, but the one thing that has been constant is our pride in Beaver Nation! In my first year at OSU, I am especially proud of the way our program has performed in competition and in the classroom:

 

 

Improved our team’s GPA from 2.84 in winter term 2020 to posting a 3.24 GPA in winter 2021

Ended our 2021 season in second place in the Pac-12, a jump from a fifth-place finish in 2019

Qualified six wrestlers for NCAA Championships

 

 

 

Our student-athletes continually showcase the fact that success is not achieved alone. On April 28 Beaver Nation will come together in celebration of our university for the second annual Dam Proud Day! Save the date and join the OSU community across the globe in showing your Beaver pride.

 

By supporting wrestling on Dam Proud Day, your dollars will go directly to the development of our student-athletes to continue their success at OSU. For wrestling, those dollars will be applied towards a new scoreboard and speakers for the wrestling room. Recently, we purchased new mats for the practice facility and want to continue to make impactful upgrades.

 

Join us April 28 and make your gift to wrestling by clicking the button below.

 

We compete at an elite level and thanks to you we can prepare for victory in the same way.

 

Go Beavs!
