Wrestling Legends
The Wrestling Legends Fundraising Banquet is our program's most prestigious fundraising event and serves as an opportunity to celebrate the storied tradition of Mules Wrestling. Through the fundraising banquet, Mules Wrestling aims to supplement its operations budget, which includes equipment needs; to expand and enrich the student-athlete experience; and to implement facility improvements.
Join us April 24, 2026, for day of celebrating the Mules Wrestling Program in Warrensburg! This is a powerful gathering of Mules Wrestling alumni and community leaders who come together to support Mules Wrestling, induct former student athletes and supports as Wrestling Legends, and positively impact the current generation. The banquet will include a social, dinner, drinks, a silent auction and recognition.
Proceeds from the 3nd Annual Wrestling Legends Fundraising Banquet will ensure Central Missouri remains one of the nation’s top NCAA Division II wrestling programs.* We would be honored to have your support.
