Support William Kilpack, Student Ambassador

Members of the Wrestling Community:

William Kilpack, 13-year-old wrestler from Sandy, Utah, will be representing Utah and the United States this summer as a People to People Student Ambassador in China.  He was selected for academic achievement and passed through a rigorous screening process that included interviews and letters of recommendation from adults he had worked with both in and out of his school.  This is a great honor and is sure to be a life-changing experience for him.

William is an accomplished wrestler, having won 10 national titles and, most recently, being named Outstanding Wrestler at the Reno World Championships.  This year, he will be missing USA Wrestling Western Regional Championships and USA Wrestling Kids Nationals in order to represent his state and country in this endeavor.

The cost of this trip is shouldered by his family, which covers the cost of flights and ground transportation; lodging and meals; instructors teaching classes prior to leaving for the excursion, as well as supervision during the two weeks he is in China.  There are fundraising programs designed to help defray costs but, stated simply, there is no more closely knit group of people who may be willing to pitch in than those in the wrestling community.  With that in mind, if you would like to help support him in his fundraising efforts, please feel free to donate $5, $10 or $25 via PayPal.   

If you know William, you know that he is a fine young man and will represent his state and country well.

Thank you.
