Linn Mar Wrestling

05/29/2026

These 9 Linn-Mar wrestlers have qualified to wrestle at the Fargo Freestyle/ Greco National Tournament which will be held later this summer. The LMWC Endowment will be helping them with some of their travel and competition expenses. We are asking supporters of Linn-Mar Wrestling to consider helping them as well.

Donors can use our on-line endowment link to support these athletes. All donations are tax deductible. Donors can also add a comment with their donation designating where they want their money to go. All donations with a comment of “Fargo” will be split up evenly among the 9 athletes. Donations can also be directed at specific wrestlers, just put that wrestler(s) name in the comment so we know who you want your donation to go to specifically.

Thank you for your support of Linn-Mar Wrestling
