About the Pledge Pool
The pledge pool is designed to help the growth of the Cleveland State University Wrestling Program. The money gifted goes directly to the Cleveland Regional Training Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports the Cleveland State University Wrestling Team. The future growth of our program depends on the support of our alumni, friends, family, and fans!
Each pledge received will directly impact the wrestling program by providing additional resources for student-athlete scholarship, travel (competition), facility improvements (locker room/wrestling room), as well as anything else needed to help CSU Wrestling compete with the nations best wresting programs.
Any donations made through the pledge pool are considered tax-free donations
Pledge for Pins
How It Works
Determined by pins made by any team member during the current years schedule, which includes regular season tournaments, dual meets, conference event, and nationals. Over the last five years, the CSU wrestling has averaged 30 pins per season.
If you pledge $5 per pin and the team accumulates 30 pins during the season, your total donation is $150.
The wrestling staff will track results throughout the season and provide updates on this website and social media channels.
At the conclusion of the season, you will receive a notice with the results of your pledge and instructions for making your donation.
