About the FONCHSW

Written by Marty Bartram

Friday, 24 September 2010 10:16

The Friends of North Carolina High School Wrestling was formed in 2009 when the CEO of Team Rhino LLC stepped up to facilitate a need in the high school wrestling community.

Across the great state of North Carolina, the NCHSAA awards medals to 4th place in their state championship events. These awards are provided by a generous corporate donor. However, the NCHSAA State Wrestling Championships places to sixth place not fourth. The fifth and sixth place finishers are not awarded medals but are placed on the podium.

The FONCHSW worked with state coaching associations to try and rectify this in the most economical and logical manner. The option that we were left with is the one we currently implement and sustain. We accept donations for first through sixth place medals for all four high school classifications and their respective fourteen weight classes. We purchase those medals and issue them at the state tournament from the upper deck of the stands after the wrestlers come off the podium.

"Our son placed 6th a couple of years ago at States, and if it had not been for your efforts, he would not have received a medal to commemorate his achievement."

You make make donations by mail or via PayPal. If you would like to put up a web banner on your site contact us at ceo@teamrhinollc.rhinowrestling.org and we will provide you a link for your banner as well as a banner if you would like.
