CSF Wrestling Gets Reprieve
Aug. 24, 2010

Cal State Fullerton wrestling has hope for a future.

The sport, designated last week for termination at the end of the 2010-11 season, has been given a reprieve to continue fund-raising efforts to keep the program competing. A combination of positive reaction to the “finality” of last week’s announcement and some accounting adjustments renewed hope that approximately $450,000 can be raised by next Spring to fund the program for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons.

“The university will allow the wrestling program to use existing pledges toward future seasons to cover the shortfall that was created when the program missed its August goal of approximately $196,000 in the bank to fund the 2010-11 season,” said Director of Athletics Brian Quinn. “All new money coming in must first go to covering this year’s shortfall.”

Fullerton competes in the hybrid Pac-10 for wrestling against Arizona State, Boise State, Cal Poly, Cal State Bakersfield, Oregon State and Stanford. The season begins on Nov. 19 with a home meet vs. Stanford.

From Coach Hicks:

Goal #One:

We have an opportunity to complete year two of our Lasting Impact Pledge drive and raise the additional monies to cover the scholarships with events. Covering the 10-11 Budget of $230,000 buys us the 10-11 Season. The Pledges can be sent in any time this fall for year two of the pledge drive. The more we get in before Dec.30, 2010 the better. I know some of you are on a monthly payment plan which is fine . Please continue. Others paid the pledge in a onetime check. If you are able to do that again great. Below are two options.

We will be expanding the pledge drive to add $50,000 a year in Five year pledges.

Goal #Two:

Next we go to work on the $450,000 to cover year 11-12 and 12-13. The goal is to have this in by March 1st. By accomplishing this by March we insure there will be no interruption in recruiting and we continue to build the program to an elite level. In reality this will actually get us an additional year because the donations that come in after March first can begin to pay for the 13-14 season.

Goal #3 New Events and resources:

We will be looking for a site for a Fight For Wrestling Night in So Cal. Our President will not approve it on campus at Fullerton. So we need some ideas of a central place to do one that can hold 4000 people. We are checking with Eddie Ruiz on Azusa Pacific. Is there something more central?????

We will be expanding the pledge drive to add $50,000 a year in Five year pledges.

We will need large donors and corporate sponsorships who will give one time gifts to help us reach the March 1st goal.

Does anyone have matching programs at your work???

We hope to connect with the UFC to get their involvement.

Seems like a 60 minute grind match with no breaks, but we have overcome in the past.

Open to ideas and thank you to everyone who already has jumped in to help.

We have reached the goal for this current year of $70,000.

We are currently working on the $200,000 goal to cover next year which we need to raise by May 1st.

40 teams have said they are planning on coming to our team camp. We have a goal of 68 teams. The team camp is a major renewable resource and has potential to bring in $80,000 towards our scholarship budget. Let local coaches know to come to the team camp in July.

Our 5 year pledge drive brought n $230,000 pledged over 5 years.

We have some more work to do but look like we are well on our way to getting it done.

Thank you for all your support.
