The USA Men's Junior National curling team seeks supporters for its upcoming season.
The team, consisting of Wes Wendling, Kevin Tuma, Caden Hebert, Jack Armstrong, and Jackson Bestland, will be representing the United States at the 2023-24 World Junior Curling B Championships in Lohja, Finland. Additionally, the team will be competing at numerous high-level events in both the US and Canada from September to March.
Please consider this request letter of financial sponsorship for the USA’s Men’s Junior National curling team. Wes Wendling, Kevin Tuma, Caden Hebert, Jack Armstong, and Jackson Bestland will be representing the United States at the 2023-24 World Junior Curling B Championships in Lohja, Finland. They are seeking your assistance in funding the upcoming season.
Between the months of September and March, the team will be competing at numerous high level events in both the United States and
Canada. Although USA Curling offers some financial support, it is not enough to cover the season. Your donation would help relieve the financial burden facing the players and their families so they can focus on the preparation needed to compete at the highest level.
The team is made up of players who exemplify the characteristics cherished by the game of curling. They are a hard-working and driven group of young men who want nothing more than to represent their country in the best way possible. The ultimate goal is to earn a medal at World B’s so the team can return to Finland and compete for a world title later in the year. Finding sponsorship to provide financial support has been challenging. The team wants you to know they will do all they can to support you back through advertisement logos, social media, and possibly even “learn to curl” opportunities.
Wes Wendling is originally from Wausau, Wisconsin, but is currently studying to become a commercial pilot at Minnesota State in Mankato.
Kevin Tuma is from St. Paul, Minnesota, and is a mathematics major at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities.
Jack Armstrong is from Appleton, Wisconsin, and attended UW - Stevens Point in preparation for medical school in Chicago while serving as a member of the National Guard.
Jackson Bestland and Caden Hebert are both from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Jackson is an incoming freshman at Chippewa Valley Technical college and Caden is a Senior at Memorial High School.
The team has been curling since they were very young and all are still driven with a great passion for the game. You should feel confident that you are supporting great athletes and outstanding young men.
