Help Send Blake to Fargo!

Friends and Fam,

I recently qualified to be a member of the 2024 USA Wrestling-Ohio National Team! The team consists of the top Freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestlers in the state in my age group. My eligibility for the team was based on the results of the recent USA Wrestling State Championships as well as my past wrestling achievements.

During the past several years, the Ohio National Wrestling team has done well in national competition. Over the years this team has continually placed in the Top 8 in the nation earning All-American honors. This year’s team should be very strong, and our goals are to win the team title and have as many All-Americans as possible. We strive to continue a tradition of excellence for Ohio wrestling!

The National Wrestling Championships will be held at North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND, from July 12 to July 20. I will be attending an intensive wrestling technique camp along with my teammates starting on July 5. I will be training throughout this Spring and Summer to better prepare myself for this event.

This is an amazing opportunity for me to travel and experience wrestling at a higher level. The cost for me to participate on the Ohio National Wrestling team this year is a whopping $1,550, which is not exactly chump change for a teen like me. Due to the short time period between now and camp, earning this money will be difficult. Therefore, I am asking for donations in any amount to help out my cause. Alternatively, tax-deductible checks should be made payable to USA Wrestling - Ohio and have my name printed in the bottom left corner, so I can get credit for the donation.

I believe that this Summer’s wrestling experience will go a long way towards helping me achieve my personal goals in wrestling and in life. I greatly appreciate any help you may be able to give me. Thank you!
