River Falls Wrestling Scholarship

The River Falls Boosters Wrestling Club is proud to announce the annual River Falls Educational Wrestling Scholarship.  Application deadline is determined by the high school guidance office.

The scholarship program started with in-kind donation at David Amdahl's coaching retirement from River Falls.  The scholarship program has developed to reward student athletes who have been committed and dedicated to the sport of wrestling at River Falls High School.  Scholarships will be awarded to a graduating wrestler, statistician or manager who will be pursuing post high school education at an accredited college, junior college or vocational-technical program. 

In addition, a military scholarship has been set up for those that choose military service.  Once scholarships are awarded they are guaranteed.  The award itself is presented at the end-of-season wrestling banquet.  Future scholarships will be reviewed on an annual basis. 

If you wish to contribute to the scholarship fund, please send a note to the board president.

Sharing Families Project / "Adopt a Family"

December 2010

A few of the board members have been active with this program for the last few years and with that, The River Falls Wrestling Booster Club participated by anonymously sponsoring a family of five and did a small part to help provide for one the many families in need during the Christmas season.  Although we will never meet the recipients, the board truly treasured the opportunity to participate in this program.  Sharing Families organization is a nonprofit service supervised by a volunteer board of directors.  For those interested, additional monetary donations may be mailed to Sharing Families, P.O. Box 701, River Falls, WI 54022, dropped off at a participating bank or brought to the River Falls Journal office between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. weekdays.  The Sharing Families program’s goal is to help 50 families in the River Falls School District by providing them with extra food, warm new clothing and Christmas gifts for the kids.
