Belvidere Bandits Wrestling Club

07/25/2026

Hey Bandits Families!
It's time to kick off our **Business Sponsorship Program** for the season! This is a great way for wrestlers to help cover their registration costs while getting our club's name out in the community.

How it works:
- Wrestlers reach out to local businesses and ask them to sponsor our club
- For every sponsorship a wrestler brings in, **30% goes directly toward that wrestler's registration fees**
- Major and Tech Fall sponsors will be featured on our team shirts, so the sooner you sign them up, the better!

How to get a business signed up:
📧 Email the sponsorship info directly using our sponsor link: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/belvidere-bandits-2026-2027-business-sponsors
📄 Or ask me about paper sponsorship forms or a PDF
***⏰ Deadline: All sponsorships must be turned in by November 1st so we can get sponsors added to our shirts in time!

Registration for the season hasn't opened yet, but this is the perfect time to get a head start on those sponsorships before things get busy. Every business counts — even a small, local shop helps!

Questions? Reach out to me anytime.

Let's keep the support for our athletes growing! 💪💙💛🤠

💙💛 Good luck tomorrow, Emily! 💙💛

Tomorrow, our former Belvidere Bandit Emily Taylor will take the mat at the Fargodome to compete against the nation’s best at the USA Wrestling Junior & 16U National Championships.

Emily has done more than qualify for Fargo—she has helped pave the way for girls wrestling in Belvidere. As a multi-time IKWF Girls State Champion, she has inspired countless young wrestlers to step onto the mat and believe they belong there. Her work ethic, leadership, and determination have made her a role model for so many in our Bandits family.

Tomorrow she’ll proudly represent Team Illinois on one of the biggest stages in wrestling, and we’ll all be cheering her on from home.

Good luck, Emily! Wrestle fearless, trust your training, and enjoy every moment. Once a Bandit, always a Bandit! 🤼‍♀️💙💛

Tomorrow our former Belvidere Bandit, Hunter Heath, will hit the mat inside the Fargodome to compete against the best wrestlers in the nation at the USA Wrestling Junior & 16U National Championships! 💙💛

Hunter has put in countless hours of hard work, dedication, and sacrifice to earn this opportunity, and we couldn’t be more proud to see him representing Illinois on one of wrestling’s biggest stages.

Please join the Belvidere Bandits Wrestling family in wishing Hunter the very best of luck tomorrow. Wrestle hard, compete with confidence, and enjoy every moment. No matter the outcome, you’ve already made your Bandit family proud.

Good luck, Hunter! We’re all behind you! 🤼‍♂️💙💛
