Welcome to the Youngblood Eveleth Charitable Foundation, where we champion academic excellence among high school wrestlers and inspire them to pursue higher education. We invite applications from both public and private school wrestlers who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance, leadership qualities, and a clear commitment to their career goals.
