For the first time in Aptos Wrestling history, two of our athletes have qualified for the national tournament in North Dakota. This is a huge achievement for our team and a proud moment for our club and community. The journey to nationals is not only a testament to the hard work and dedication of our athletes, but also to the support and encouragement from our coaches, families, and the Aptos community.

Sending our athletes to the national tournament comes with significant expenses, including airfare, lodging, food, and other necessities. As the head coach, I am starting this fundraiser to help relieve the financial stress on our athletes and their parents, so they can focus on their training and competition. Your support will directly help cover these costs and ensure our athletes have the opportunity to represent Aptos on the national stage.

Any additional funds raised will go toward supporting the Aptos Wrestling Club as a whole. This includes providing tournament fees, wrestling uniforms, food and drink at tournaments for all athletes, and potentially purchasing a new wrestling mat. Our goal is to continue growing the sport of wrestling in our community and Santa Cruz County, giving every athlete the resources they need to succeed. We ask for your support with open hearts—if you are able to help, your generosity will make a lasting impact on our athletes and our club.
