Peanut’s Wrestling Scholarship Submissions Have Been Incredible!

We’ve got to be honest, we’re still catching our breath over here at Keep Kids Wrestling.
When we launched Peanut’s Wrestling Scholarship, we hoped for a few passionate student wrestlers to step forward and share their story. What we received was far more than that. We’ve been flooded with submissions full of heart, honesty, and hustle. Wrestlers from across the country, small towns, big cities, high schoolers, JUCO standouts, college athletes, have stepped up and shown us just how much this sport means to them.
We’ve read stories about perseverance through loss, growth through struggle, and confidence built on the mat. We've seen firsthand what wrestling does for a young person’s character, leadership, and purpose. These aren’t just scholarship submissions. They’re reminders of why we do this.
And now, we want to do even more.
🚀 Let’s Go Bigger: Help Us Reach More Wrestlers
We don’t want this momentum to stop.
We’ve realized something powerful through these videos: Peanut’s Scholarship isn’t just a prize, it’s a platform. And with the right support, we can expand this contest into something far greater. But here’s the truth:
We can’t grow unless you help us ask for the money.
We’re calling on our community, parents, coaches, fans, alumni, and supporters, to help us take this campaign to the next level. Whether it’s a one-time gift or a monthly donation, your contribution allows us to:
Raise the scholarship amount
Offer more than one winner per cycle
Launch regional mini-scholarships or gear grants
Cover production costs for featured videos
Create opportunities for more student voices to be heard
If you’ve ever said, “I wish more kids could stay in wrestling,” here’s your chance to be the reason they do.
📣 Join the Campaign: Just Ask
We’re launching a new push, a campaign to go ALL IN for these young athletes. But this can’t happen with silence. It starts with us being bold enough to say:
“This scholarship changes lives, and we need your help to fund it.”
Ask your booster club. Ask your workplace. Ask your old wrestling teammates. Ask the businesses in your town. Share the link. Send the email. Make the call.
If 100 people give $20, we’ve just doubled our impact. If 10 people give $200, we’ve added another scholarship. Every voice matters, and every ask moves us forward.
💬 From the Mat to the Mic, Their Voices Deserve to Be Heard
Wrestlers are used to grinding in silence. But Peanut’s Scholarship gives them a chance to speak. To inspire. To remind the world why this sport is worth fighting for.
So let’s build on what we’ve started.
Let’s turn this spark into a fire that burns year-round, not just twice a year. Let’s give more kids a reason to say, “I’m proud to be a wrestler,” and know that their journey matters, on and off the mat.
Because when you help tell a story, you help shape the future of wrestling.
