Utah Wrestling Supporters

Thank you to everyone who has shared your stories and helped amplify the powerful impact wrestling has had on your lives, your athletes, and your families. Because of your voices, conversations and meetings have been sparked across the state—and change is beginning.

As we look ahead, I've asked myself where I can best serve as an advocate for women’s sports. The answer is clear: with our girls. Our mission is to build bridges and open doors to ensure they have the support, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed—both on and off the mat.

I'm proud to announce that Utah Educational Athletics, the nonprofit I founded, is officially launching its signature programs in PHASE 2 of our campaign. We are calling on YOU—our supporters, community members, and advocates—to help us grow these programs by contributing and sharing our mission.

Our Signature Programs Include:
🔹 High School Girls Wrestling Tournament — Led by Women, for Women
A premier event celebrating female wrestlers in Utah. This tournament is led by women and built to empower young female athletes in a supportive, competitive environment.

🔹 Empower HER Legacy — Utah D1 Collegiate Campaign & Leadership Training
Partnering with Utah Division 1 female athletes, this program offers mentorship, advanced training, leadership development, and advocacy opportunities for young women across the state.

🔹 Miss Utah Athletics Scholarship Pageant
A dynamic platform where student-athletes showcase leadership, service, and academic excellence—opening doors to scholarships and educational opportunities beyond high school.

🔹 All Girls Club – Northern Utah Girls Wrestling
A year-round program fostering a strong, inclusive female wrestling community through training, mentorship, and competitive opportunities.

🔹 At-Risk Prevention Program – Beat the Streets SLC
In partnership with the nationally recognized Beat the Streets initiative, we offer free wrestling programs to underserved youth in Utah. Our holistic approach includes athletic training, drug prevention, healthy relationships, and life-skills development—empowering students to thrive both on and off the mat.

We are building a movement, but we cannot do it alone. In this next phase, we need your help.
Please consider donating to support these life-changing programs. Your contribution directly fuels opportunity, equity, and empowerment for Utah's next generation of female athletes.

Let’s build this legacy together.
