Wrestling Fanatics!
I hope your first month of 2023 was as exciting as ours! We had several big matches and are fine-tuning our athletes for the postseason push! Our last two B1G duals are this week (at Minnesota) and next (vs Michigan) followed by one final test (vs Oklahoma State) before the B1G Championships in Ann Arbor, MI!

HAPPENING NOW
We are currently working on bringing you, our most valuable and supportive fans, more 50 Year Anniversary graphics, merchandise, and content! We only celebrate our 50th once, so everything we put out is limited edition and won't be replicated! Make sure you don’t miss out on these offerings by reading our newsletters all year long and by following us on our social media channels - Instagram, Facebook & Twitter.

We are also spending a lot of time planning our Annual Banquet - 50 Years of
Excellence, to be held in mid May, right here in Iowa City. Registration for this awesome event will open on our website in two weeks… Stay tuned! If you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring a table for the event, contact our team at banquet@hawkeyewrestlingclub.com or call (563)299-6453 for more information.

2022 ANNUAL GIVING SUMMARY
This past year we changed donor management systems, so our 2022 annual summaries will be generated by two different websites - DonorBox & Classy. All online transitions will be accounted for but will be produced in two separate reports from us. If you also gave offline with a check, that
will be emailed to you separately from these reports. Donors can expect to receive these summaries by the end of this week!
Because of you, we can continue our pursuit of excellence. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and unwavering support! Thank you!!
