Join us, as we build a strong financial foundation for America’s shrine to the sport of wrestling.
To become stronger, one must be willing to push beyond the limits. To keep going when it would be easier to give up. To persevere with intensity and dedication. To get back up, again and again. To find the strength to power through … to Power Beyond.
Preserve History
The National Wrestling Hall of Fame is more than a museum – it’s a place where legends live on. By preserving the magical moments of wrestling, the Hall of Fame allows visitors to relive their most cherished memories, connecting generations through a shared love for the sport.
Recognize Excellence
From state chapters throughout the nation that recognize those at the grassroots of our sport to regional and national award recipients, the Hall of Fame awards program brings well-deserved recognition to the sport of wrestling.
Inspire Future Generations
Wrestling is a sport for all. Support from the endowment will help the National Wrestling Hall of Fame drive the power of wrestling beyond our museum walls to inspire future generations and reach people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and abilities.
Help Us Power Beyond
The Endowment Campaign for the National Wrestling Hall of Fame will require extraordinary commitment from those who love wrestling and desire to see the rich history of the sport preserved for future generations.
