The Vision
For years, Ellsworth County's young wrestlers have trained in borrowed gyms, cramped spaces, and makeshift facilities. That changes now.
We are raising $300,000 to construct a standalone wrestling training facility on a vacant lot in downtown Ellsworth — transforming an empty space into a beacon of community growth and youth development.
This facility will serve not just our club, but every wrestler in Ellsworth County for generations to come. It will bring families downtown, create pride of place, and prove that small communities can grow and prosper together.
Founding Donor Recognition
Be among the first founding donors to the Ellsworth County Kids Wrestling Club facility. Legacy Club members will have their family or business name permanently displayed on a donor recognition wall inside the new facility — a lasting tribute to those who made it possible.

Learn MoreAbout the Club
The Ellsworth County Kids Wrestling Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to developing young athletes through the sport of wrestling. We serve youth across Ellsworth County with youth programs ranging from beginner to competitive levels.
"Wrestling teaches discipline, resilience, and work ethic — qualities these kids carry with them long after they leave the mat."
For years we have operated out of borrowed spaces and shared gyms. This campaign represents our community's commitment to giving the next generation of Ellsworth County wrestlers a permanent home.
The chosen site — a vacant lot in downtown Ellsworth — is more than just a convenient location. It's a statement. When this facility opens, it transforms an eyesore into a landmark, brings families and visitors downtown, and demonstrates that Ellsworth County is a community with a future.
Community development grants often look for exactly this kind of project: youth-focused, economically revitalizing, and locally driven. Our 501(c)(3) status and downtown location strengthen every grant application we submit.
Every dollar brings us one step closer to breaking ground. Join the families, businesses, and community members who are building something lasting for Ellsworth County.
