Kolbstrong Scholarship Unsanctioned Iron Man Fundraiser

About The Scholarship

We know that powerlifting comes with hardships and sacrifices of loving a sport that doesn't pay often, and we know the expenses that go into being the best you can be on and off the platform. We would not be where we are today without the help of so many, and now it's our turn to give back, and help bring up the next big lifter.

Our goal for this scholarship is to award young athletes with a check for $1,000 each and a powerlifting goodie box. Our hope is that this money is used to help them buy equipment, pay gym dues, enter meets, pay for travel expenses, etc. so that they can succeed in the world of powerlifting.

All proceeds of this push/pull fundraiser will go towards the scholarship and sponsoring lifters in 2022! You can see more info at KolbstrongScholarship.com
