Dustin's Legacy: Inspire and Uplift Laingsburg Wrestlers

Thank you for taking the time to listen to a cause that’s both deeply personal and incredibly meaningful.

Today, I want to share the story of Dustin. Dustin was a high school wrestler, a young man with incredible drive and a heart full of compassion. Wrestling taught him discipline, resilience, and the value of teamwork, and he carried those lessons with him off the mat as well. Dustin’s dream was to become a coach, not just to teach wrestling techniques but to mentor and inspire young people to overcome their challenges and strive for greatness.

Tragically, Dustin’s life was cut short before he could fully realize that dream. But even in his absence, Dustin’s legacy lives on. His family, who knew his passion for helping others, has chosen to honor his memory by creating this scholarship fund. They want to ensure that Dustin’s dream of uplifting others can continue, offering opportunities to students like him—students with big dreams, strong hearts, and the determination to make a difference.

The fund isn’t just about financial aid. It’s about carrying forward Dustin’s values and creating a lasting legacy in his honor. It’s about giving young people, especially wrestlers who embody the same grit and determination as Dustin, the chance to pursue their education and their dreams, no matter the obstacles.

Our goal this year is to raise $5,000.00, which will provide Laingsburg wrestlers a chance to achieve their dreams.

A donation of $150.00 can cover wrestling fees for a season.

$500.00 can pay for wrestling gear, wrestling fees, and food for a wrestler.

$1,000.00 can pay for several kids to go to wrestling camp.

$5,000.00 can pay for students to go to camp, wrestling gear, wrestling fees, food for wrestlers at events, and can help students go to college.

Every dollar you contribute is more than just a donation—it’s an investment in a young person’s future and a tribute to Dustin’s life and legacy.

Dustin’s family wants this scholarship to be a beacon of hope, an enduring reminder of the incredible impact one person can have. With your support, we can ensure that Dustin’s dream of helping others lives on, inspiring future generations to strive, persevere, and give back.

So I ask you: Will you join us in honoring Dustin’s memory? Will you help us turn his dream into a reality for students who need it most?

Together, we can carry forward Dustin’s legacy, open doors, and change lives.

Thank you for your time, your generosity, and your belief in the power of education—and in the power of leaving a legacy that truly matters.

Let’s make a difference together.
