WRESTLING LIFE FUND

Wrestling is more than a sport. It builds character, resilience, discipline, and confidence—lessons that stay with athletes long after they leave the mat.

OUR STORY

Wrestling Life Fund was created to support national and international elite youth wrestling and girls wrestling.

The idea had been developing for some time, but the spark that ultimately led to the fund’s creation came with the news that Sunkist Kids—the most storied club and sponsor in wrestling history—would close its doors after the Paris Olympics.

For decades, Sunkist Kids helped wrestlers develop as people while supporting elite athletes on their journeys to World and Olympic competition. Wrestling Life Fund was founded in admiration of that legacy, with a vision to carry forward a small piece of what Sunkist Kids did for the sport. Wrestling Life Fund is an Idaho non-profit corporation. 

Building on a legacy of character, excellence, and wrestling at the highest level.
