Gentlemen, and other wrestling fans;

With Jim at Wrestling for Life’s blessing, we are continuing the spirit of friendly competition while supporting the growth of our sport, thought maybe we could get an across the boards bragging rights challenge for the NCAA tournament going. I know it is 5 months away, but it is never too early to start thinking about Wrestling for Life and growing the sport we all love. Plus, you can start saving money to donate!

Rules are simple;

1. Openly pledge any amount per team point scored by your team at the NCAA tournament to be donated to Wrestling For Life. MAKE SURE TO DESIGNATE YOUR TEAM. Example: CowboyUp61 pledges $1 per point for OKLA STATE. If OSU scores 150 team points, my donation would be $150.00. Any amount is welcome, and appreciated. If you don’t want to keep track, you can just donate a flat amount, and it counts for your board! Any receipt posted(to WFL J) dated after the original post is made, through April 1st, counts!

2. ACTUALLY FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR PLEDGE, and post your receipt by April 1. (Nobody likes someone who skips out on a charity donation!)

3. The winning board and team will be decided by the amount of receipts to WFL posted by April 1.

4. The winning board gets an electronic trophy they can pin to the top of the board. Not to mention bragging rights for the next year.

5. One lucky soul who contributed to the winning team will receive a gift pack of clothing and memorabilia from the University they support worth approximately $150.00.

6. All who donate get the knowledge their money went to provide shoes to those that otherwise may not have them, tickets to events for kids who otherwise may never be able to attend, and that these young kids may stick with wrestling due to your support!

DISCLAIMER: My only affiliation with WFL is as a supporter. However, the cause is close to my heart as I was that kid who wouldn’t have been able to have wrestling shoes, equipment, trips to tournaments, etc. without the aid and assistance of others. Wrestling For Life does wonders in the wrestling community in getting equipment to where it can do the most good. Feel free to jump in and play along, with all funds going to a great cause!

I also think Wrestling for Life is a great cause. I will pledge $.50 per team point at the NCAA. I certainly hope we can score at least 100 team points.
LETS GO POKES!!!

Thanks, Proud! I am guessing you mean per Poke point?

Not that I would think bad of you if you meant each point in the tourney :)

Based on OSU Cowboy points not the entire field. That could have been an expensive lack of specificity.

@rancher1 and @chasepollard, and @oberebo, way to go! WFL is one of the best things going out there for wrestling, and will help wrestlers everywhere! Below is a message from the founder;

This seems like a good time to update you all on some of the things you helped Wrestling for Life accomplish in the last 12 months. I hope it paints a picture of what your kindness means.
This weekend we are giving away tickets to the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships. Our total for the year will rank 4th in the 11 years that we have been giving tickets to wrestling events to middle school teams, kids clubs and youth organizations.

We sent wrestling shoes and headgear to middle schools, kids clubs and Beat the Streets organizations in California, Oklahoma , Georgia, New Jersey, Illinois and Iowa. The lack of adequate gear is one of the biggest roadblocks to youth participation.

Last spring and summer we launched 2 annual wrestling camp scholarships, the Bill Bails Scholarship is targeted to middle school athletes with 2 years or less experience. The Logan Luft Scholarship is geared to middle schoolers in general. We will be adding 2 annual scholarships this year, one for middle school girls and one for special needs athletes.

You also helped us send kids to the HWC banquet, support educational outreach at the Hall of Fame's 2 locations and help grow girls wrestling.

Hello Cowboy friends. Thank you so much for joining in CowboyUp's challenge.

For the last couple of years Wrestling for Life has been working with the daughter and grandson of Cowboy legend and Hall of Famer, Joe McDaniel, to get shoes to financially challenged middle schools in Oklahoma. All of the funds donated to this effort by 34 and Counting posters will go to buy shoes that will be sent to them.

I can't thank you enough for your kindness and for CowboyUp's tireless support.

I raised my donation to $2/pt also due to the lower than expected points scored.

I would like everyone to know that this pledge came from my very good friend Mr. Mike Railsback, a born and bred Hawkeye who attends the tournament with me every year. Despite the Hawkeye thing, his heart is in the right place.

Donation amount: $100.00 USD

The transaction will appear on your credit card statement as PAYPAL *WRESTLINGFO.

@boroscott the singlet is in the mail.

The gentleman who won the drawing is primarily an Edinboro fan-Scott the Scot :). I wasn't prepared for that :(. So instead of scrambling, he asked that I just donate in his name. Works for me. Thanks, boroscott!

This is a final reminder for those that didn't post receipts. Hopefully you have made your donation;) and just forgot to post, and not dropped to Spyker level.

Good cause-thanks to all that donated. See you for the world championships?
