Nish coming thru big again!!!

RTC needs more donors. With this new addition, we have half a dream team to work with our kids. It has helped recruiting already. We need to add the other half. H2P!

We need to add the other half.

Not sure I understand what the other half is, Nish?

Weight class with no RTC coach. Coach Gavin hopes to eventually have all Olympic weight classes covered by a RTC coach. We're half way there.

This is starting to get really exciting. Beginning to look and act like a legitimate program.

Great pick up. Just out of curiosity what does it cost to sponsor an RTC athlete?

Nico, is an absolute HUGE get for the Pitt Wrestling Club and Coach Gavin. Not only is he a national name, and lends even more credibility to the training center. Watch how it effects local recruiting. The perfect local kid who gives Pitt instant Street Credibility. Best of all, in wrestling, to get to the highest levels you need great training partners. Sullivan and Philippi are going to benefit "Big time". Pitt program is def moving in the right direction.

how do we donate?

Go to PWC site. There is a “donate” button on site. Then give lots of money.

PWC's site is pittsburghwrestlingclub.com. Like thom67 said, there is a donate button so it's real easy to be part of this effort. Things have moved pretty fast for us in the past year but we still have a long way to go. Hate to do a Penn State comparison but they are the top of the heap here as well. In their 2015 tax filing, their club shows $5.7 Million in assets, 8 times as much as the #2 club, Iowa. We are way behind but, finally, making progress. A club is solely reliant on donations so we need more people to get involved.
Omega, on costs, others can chime in here but from what I understand there are 2 parts, an annual salary, which can range from, say, $15,000 to $35,000, plus travel and other expenses to national and world tournaments.
Let's estimate the math here and I'm doing this off the top of my head. If the average RTC coach costs $25,000 and there are 8 (?) Olympic weight classes, then RTC needs a recurring annual donation pool of $200,000 to fund a full team of coaches. That's not a lot money needed to make a real difference, like what attracting Nico does for recruiting. These are charitable donations so, if you can afford it, set aside $1000 - $5000 a year for PWC. Or more. It will help a lot.
