The West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction officially opens for bidding on September 2, 2026, giving wrestling alumni, families, friends, athletes, coaches, golf weekend participants, businesses, and supporters across the country an opportunity to rally behind the West Point Community Wrestling Club & Regional Training Center. Every registration, bid, donation, and shared post helps expand the reach of the auction while supporting WPWC’s mission and the athletes, programs, and wrestling community it serves.
This Media Kit was created to help WPWC members, wrestling alumni, families, athletes, coaches, volunteers, golfers, sponsors, businesses, community leaders, wrestling fans, and friends easily promote the auction through social media, text messaging, email, and everyday conversations. The goal is simple: build awareness, increase registrations before opening day, and encourage more participation once bidding begins.
The timing of this year’s auction provides an excellent opportunity to build even greater momentum around an important weekend for the WPWC community. Bidding begins on September 2, just days before the 16th Annual WPWC Golf Scramble Weekend on September 5–6, 2026. The weekend brings together friends, families, alumni, golfers, and supporters who share a passion for Army Wrestling, while the online auction creates an opportunity for an even larger audience to participate.
Because the auction is online, participation is not limited to people attending the golf weekend or those who live near West Point. Alumni across the country, wrestling families, former athletes, fans, friends, businesses, and supporters can register, bid, share the auction, and help strengthen WPWC from wherever they are.
Unlike generic fundraising templates, everything below has been designed for real-world use. The messages, ideas, graphics, and promotional tools can be copied, personalized, shared, reposted, or adapted for different audiences. Whether someone is posting on Facebook, sending a quick text, sharing with wrestling families, contacting fellow alumni, encouraging coworkers, or asking businesses to participate, this Media Kit makes promotion easy.
Registration is now open, allowing supporters to prepare before bidding officially begins on September 2, 2026. Early registrations create excitement, increase visibility, and help ensure more supporters are ready to participate the moment the auction opens.
Official Registration Page
https://YourCharityAuction.com/WPWC
Supporters can register today before bidding officially begins on September 2, 2026. The auction page includes auction items, important dates, updates, and everything needed to participate once bidding opens.
With the 16th Annual WPWC Golf Scramble Weekend taking place September 5–6, opening the online auction several days earlier provides an excellent opportunity to begin building bidding activity before the weekend gets underway.
More importantly, the online format allows people who cannot attend the golf scramble or other weekend activities to participate from anywhere. Wrestling alumni, parents, former wrestlers, friends, fans, businesses, and supporters across the country can become part of the fundraising effort simply by registering and bidding online.
Every early registration strengthens the campaign by increasing awareness and helping WPWC reach more people who share a passion for wrestling and the continued development of its athletes and programs. Every share, every registration, and every conversation helps build momentum leading into auction and golf weekend.
West Point Community Wrestling Club & Regional Training Center
West Point Community Wrestling Club & Regional Training Center Website
The West Point Community Wrestling Club & Regional Training Center (WPWC) supports the growth and development of wrestling at multiple levels while building a strong community around Army West Point Wrestling.
WPWC helps support Army West Point Wrestling in its pursuit of developing champions on and off the mat, connects alumni, families, and friends who share a passion for the program, provides high-level training opportunities for athletes pursuing World and Olympic competition, and helps introduce and develop the next generation of wrestlers through opportunities for K–12 athletes.
The West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction gives that extended community another way to participate. Alumni, wrestling families, coaches, athletes, golfers, businesses, friends, and supporters from anywhere in the country can register, bid, share the auction, and help strengthen the programs and opportunities WPWC provides.
Every registration expands the potential audience. Every share can introduce another bidder. Every bid helps turn support for West Point Wrestling into meaningful fundraising impact.
16th Annual WPWC Golf Scramble Weekend
16th Annual WPWC Golf Scramble
The timing of the online auction creates a natural connection with one of WPWC’s major annual events.
The 16th Annual WPWC Golf Scramble Weekend takes place September 5–6, 2026, bringing golfers from the local community together with friends and families of West Point wrestlers from around the country for a weekend centered around golf, fellowship, and a shared passion for Army Wrestling.
The weekend begins on Saturday, September 5, with a tailgate before the Army vs. Bryant football game. On Sunday, September 6, participants gather at the West Point Golf Course for the annual golf scramble.
Because auction bidding begins on September 2, supporters have several days to register, explore the auction, and begin bidding before the golf weekend gets underway.
The connection also creates a tremendous promotional opportunity. Golfers can share the auction with friends and family before arriving. Alumni can invite former teammates and classmates. Sponsors can introduce the auction to employees and customers. During the golf weekend, participants can continue following the auction from their phones while encouraging others to join them.
Most importantly, supporters do not have to attend the golf scramble to participate in the auction.
The golf weekend may bring the WPWC community together in person, but the online auction allows that community to extend far beyond the golf course.
Auction Promotion Ideas and Strategies
One of the biggest keys to a successful charity auction is building awareness BEFORE the auction officially opens. The most successful auctions create momentum early by encouraging supporters to register ahead of time, share the auction page widely, and invite others into the mission.
This is especially important for the West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction because WPWC already has a natural network of wrestlers, alumni, families, coaches, golf participants, sponsors, businesses, wrestling fans, and supporters across the country.
Supporters can help promote the auction by:
- Sharing the auction registration page on Facebook and wrestling-related community groups
- Inviting WPWC alumni, wrestling families, athletes, coaches, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to register early
- Encouraging Army Wrestling supporters to participate and share the auction
- Asking golf scramble sponsors and participating businesses to help spread awareness
- Posting countdown reminders leading up to September 2
- Sharing information about WPWC and the programs the auction supports
- Inviting former West Point wrestlers and alumni to register
- Sending the auction to wrestling clubs, coaches, parents, and fans
- Sending personal text invitations to family and friends
- Encouraging sponsors, golfers, alumni, volunteers, and supporters to repost auction graphics
- Promoting the auction before and throughout the September 5–6 golf weekend
- Asking local businesses and community organizations to help spread the word
- Reminding people that they do not have to attend the golf scramble to participate
- Encouraging golfers to invite spouses, friends, coworkers, and family members to bid
- Sharing specific auction items as they become available
- Encouraging former wrestlers to reconnect with teammates through the fundraiser
- Sharing the auction with wrestling families outside the immediate West Point community
- Asking supporters in other states to share the auction within their own networks
- Reminding everyone that bidding begins several days before the golf weekend
Additional promotion ideas and strategies can be found here:
The most important strategy before auction day is simple: increase registrations and awareness.
Every new registration creates another potential bidder who will already be prepared once bidding officially opens.
WPWC has an especially powerful opportunity because its community extends well beyond a single geographic location.
One alumnus can invite former teammates. A wrestling family can share the auction with relatives across the country. A coach can introduce the fundraiser to wrestling families. A golfer can invite ten friends. A sponsor can share the auction with employees and customers. A former wrestler can send the auction to classmates.
The goal is to expand beyond the people who would normally attend a WPWC event and bring their personal networks into the auction as well.
That is how an online auction grows.
Donation Ideas for Charity Auctions
Successful charity auctions often include a wide variety of donated items, experiences, services, gift certificates, sports memorabilia, baskets, collectibles, entertainment opportunities, and community-sponsored items.

Amazing Auction Donation Ideas
Even smaller donated items can play an important role. A successful online auction benefits from having items at a variety of price points so more supporters have an opportunity to participate.
Businesses do not need to make an enormous contribution to make a difference. A gift certificate, service, experience, product, sports package, golf package, or donated item can create additional bidding activity while introducing that business to auction participants.
Alumni can also play an important role. Their professional networks, businesses, communities, and personal connections may open doors to unique items and experiences that would otherwise never become part of the auction.
The combination of donated community items, wrestling and sports-related opportunities, golf-related experiences, and the additional items available through Your Charity Auction gives supporters more reasons to visit the auction, place bids, and return throughout the event.
Auction Graphics and Memes for the West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction
Supporters should download and save the auction graphics from this Media Kit directly onto their phones and computers so they can easily share them across social media, text messaging, email, wrestling communications, alumni networks, golf communications, and community groups leading up to auction day.
Graphics work especially well when combined with short messages highlighting WPWC, promoting the September 2 opening date, celebrating wrestling, promoting the Golf Scramble Weekend, encouraging alumni participation, featuring auction items, sharing countdown reminders, and encouraging early registration.
The graphic package provides variety so supporters are not repeatedly sharing the same message. Some graphics can focus on wrestling and competition, others on WPWC and its athletes, and others on the September golf weekend and auction.
Simple and consistent visibility before the auction officially opens helps create familiarity and encourages more supporters to register ahead of time.
The auction URL should remain prominent whenever graphics are shared:
https://YourCharityAuction.com/WPWC
Using QR Codes to Help Promote the Auction
QR codes make sharing the auction fast and simple. Instead of asking supporters to manually type a website address, people can instantly scan a QR code with their phones and go directly to the auction registration page.
This makes QR codes especially valuable for the West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction because WPWC has multiple audiences that can help expand the fundraiser: wrestlers, parents, alumni, coaches, golfers, sponsors, businesses, friends, and supporters.
QR codes can be displayed at wrestling activities, WPWC events, the Golf Scramble Weekend, sponsor locations, businesses, registration areas, golf carts, event signage, alumni gatherings, and anywhere supporters are interacting in person.
They can also be included on printed materials, social media graphics, emails, newsletters, and digital communications.
The goal is simple: make registering for the auction as easy as possible.
Custom QR Code for the West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction
A custom QR code linking directly to the auction page can become one of the easiest promotional tools available to WPWC.
The QR code should direct supporters to:
https://YourCharityAuction.com/WPWC
QR codes help bridge offline and online promotion by making it incredibly easy for wrestlers, alumni, families, golfers, sponsors, businesses, and supporters to register quickly.
Because bidding begins on September 2, QR-code promotion should begin well before the Golf Scramble Weekend.
The goal is to have as many supporters as possible already registered and ready to bid when the auction officially opens.
Great Places to Use QR Codes
- Wrestling practices and training facilities
- WPWC events
- West Point wrestling-related gatherings
- Golf Scramble registration areas

- Tee box signage

People are far more likely to quickly scan a QR code than manually type a website address. Reducing friction increases participation.
The easier registration becomes, the more momentum the auction can build before bidding officially opens.
Best Practices for QR Code Promotion
- Place QR codes in highly visible locations.
- Combine QR codes with short, meaningful messaging.
- Include QR codes on printed materials and promotional graphics.
- Add the QR code to Golf Scramble Weekend materials whenever appropriate.
- Encourage wrestlers, alumni, families, golfers, volunteers, and supporters to share QR codes digitally.
- Ask participating businesses and sponsors to display the QR code.
- Add QR codes to social media graphics and presentation materials.
- Place QR codes where golfers and event participants naturally have downtime.
- Encourage alumni to share the QR code within their personal and professional networks.
- Remind people that they can participate even if they are not attending the Golf Scramble Weekend.
- Encourage supporters to register before September 2 instead of waiting until the auction opens.
One simple scan can create a new registration. Registrations create potential bidders, and bidders create competition.
Small promotional tools used consistently throughout the WPWC community can create significant momentum for the West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction.

Final Thoughts
The West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction is an opportunity to bring wrestlers, alumni, families, coaches, golfers, businesses, friends, and supporters together around a shared purpose.
Because the auction is online, participation can extend far beyond the people who normally attend WPWC events.
- A former wrestler can invite old teammates.
- A parent can share the auction with friends and relatives.
- A golfer can invite coworkers and business associates.
- A sponsor can introduce the auction to employees and customers.
- A coach can share it with wrestling families.
- An alumnus living hundreds or thousands of miles from West Point can still register, bid, and participate.
- That increased reach matters.
Every registration, every donated item, every bid, every social media share, every text message, every conversation, and every supporter helps expand awareness and strengthen the fundraising effort.
The most successful charity auctions begin building momentum long before bidding officially opens. Early registrations, consistent promotion, community involvement, business participation, donated items, and personal invitations all contribute to stronger bidding once the auction begins.
Bidding opens September 2, 2026.
The 16th Annual WPWC Golf Scramble Weekend takes place September 5–6, 2026.
Between now and then, every wrestler, alumnus, family member, coach, golfer, sponsor, volunteer, business, and supporter has an opportunity to introduce another person to the auction.
Do not underestimate the power of a personal invitation.
Sharing a social media post is helpful. Sending the auction directly to five or ten people and personally asking them to register can be even more effective.
The goal before September 2 is simple:
Get people registered.
Then, once the auction officially opens:
Get those registered supporters bidding.
More registered supporters create more potential bidders. More bidders create more competition. More competition creates greater fundraising potential.
Thank you for helping spread the word about the West Point Community Wrestling Club and RTC Auction. Register early, invite others to participate, share the promotional tools in this Media Kit, and help turn the WPWC community’s competitive spirit into a successful online auction.
