USA Wrestling Announces the creation of the LIVING THE DREAM MEDAL FUND
June 2nd, 2009 by admin
Living the Dream Medal fund created to award stipends to U.S. wrestlers who medal at Worlds and Olympics
USA Wrestling proudly announces the Living the Dream Medal Fund.
We have created the Fund with the purpose of allowing the entire wrestling community to participate in celebrating and honoring the hard work of our champions. While we understand that no wrestling champion wrestles ‘for the money”, this Fund will send a strong message to our elite athletes that their glory is our collective glory and their hard work and dedication is appreciated. U.S. World and Olympic team members are our ambassadors to the global wrestling community. The long journey from pee wee wrestler to an Olympic medalist requires a level of determination, of sweat, of pain, of time on the road, and in the gym, and on the mats…of dieting, deprivation, almost madness. The few that survive that journey and win deserve our support.
