Dear Friend of KCWF, April 28, 2015

The Kansas College Wrestling Fund was authorized and established by the USA Wrestling, Inc.-Kansas nearly four years ago in the summer of 2011. It is the mission of the KCWF to provide financial support for Kansas Colleges and universities with active college programs. In the past four years you have been a donor to this fund. Thank you for your past financial support!

Your donations have benefited the 11 Kansas colleges & universities. This number will grow to thirteen programs this year with the additions at Barton Community College and Kansas Wesleyan University. These wrestling programs have benefited many former Kansas youth and high school wrestlers in the past four years. This past year there were approximately 140 former Kansas youth and high school wrestlers on the eleven active Kansas colleges wrestling rosters.

There have been several Kansas wrestling All Americans and Academic All Americans at these Kansas colleges over the past four years. This past year at the 2015 National Wrestling Championships, the Kansas College wrestling programs had 52 national qualifiers and 18 All-Americans.

Eleven years ago there were only 6 college programs in Kansas with wrestling. At that time there was 1 four-year college and 5 community college programs. The 2015-16 school year in Kansas will have a total of 13 schools with collegiate wrestling in Kansas. There will be 7 four-year colleges and 6 community colleges around the state providing opportunities for these young student athletes.

You have helped all of these young wrestlers further their wrestling careers in college and more importantly, their academic and career pursuits with your generous support. Over the last four years, the Kansas College Wrestling Fund has generated $72,000 in revenue, paid distribution checks totaling $30,000 and had $8,000 of operating expenses. The projected remaining endowment balance should be approximately $40,000 after the annual distributions are sent to the colleges – in September/October of 2015. During the first four years, 160 individual donors, 20 businesses and 26 clubs and other wrestling organizations contributed to this effort. We are hoping that you will donate again this year. And, we hope to add each year to the number of our donors and the size of our distributions to each college.

Please help these Kansas colleges/university wrestling programs and the young wrestlers of Kansas by donating again this year.

Thank you,


Sean McCarthy
Chairman
Kansas College Wrestling Fund
