Dear USA Wrestling Partner Member:

On behalf of USA Wrestling I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank your dedication and commitment to our great sport.  

It is also with great enthusiasm that I inform you about USA Wrestling's partnership with the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in a new membership initiative.

USA Wrestling and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, both not-for-profit organizations, have agreed to combine their annual funding programs into one National Wrestling Legends Fund.  What this means for you is that you now have the option of joining the Legends Fund which includes membership in both USA Wrestling and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

By joining the Legends Fund as a Partner Member, you will continue to enjoy the benefits of a USA Wrestling membership and will now be eligible for additional benefits from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.  Legends Fund Partner members will receive the following benefits:

* USA Wrestling Membership - 1 year
* National Wrestling Hall of Fame Membership - 1 year
* Annual Partner's Gift
* Complimentary one year subscription to the USA Wrestler
* Complimentary one year subscription to the Hall of Fame Newsletter
* Access to USA Wrestling's Members' Only Website
* 5% discount on Official USA Wrestling Merchandise
* Four free admissions to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum
* 5% discount on Official Hall of Fame Merchandise
* Personalized Membership Card

This new initiative by USA Wrestling and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame will strengthen the sport by joining the past, present and future of our wrestling community. You will find enclosed a brochure which provides more information on this new program.  I am sure you will discover how you can now demonstrate in a very tangible way, your interest, support and passion for wrestling by selecting one of the varieties of Memberships Levels including the Legend Partner membership which is $50.00.

However, with all due respect to your loyal support of USA Wrestling's Partner membership program, if you prefer to renew only your USA Wrestling Partner membership, that option is available to you for $30.00, which includes all the USA Wrestling benefits you have enjoyed in the past.  This renewal form will be sent to you as your renewal date nears unless you have elected to join as a Legends Fund Partner.  Also, if you have already renewed your USA Wrestling membership, you can become a Legends Fund Partner by completing the form and enclosing the additional $20.00.

I invite and encourage you to show your pride - and yes, your passion for wrestling - by becoming a Legends Fund Partner today.

In the Olympic Spirit, 
 
Rich Bender
