Little Rock Wrestling to Feed Local Families with Holiday Ham Sale

The Little Rock wrestling team has launched their fifth annual holiday Ham Sale, setting a goal of selling 650 hams to fundraise for the program and feed local families. The Trojans are partnering with the nonprofit Every Arkansan for the fourth year in a row with hopes of hand-delivering 250 hams to those in need.

Last year, Little Rock wrestling and Every Arkansan teamed up to provide over 200 hams to families in the Little Rock area. The team needs your help to surpass that this holiday season.

“This is a great tradition and fantastic fundraiser that is a way to serve our community through our partnership with Every Arkansan, a great organization that helps so many people,” said head coach Neil Erisman. “It also helps our program with everything from team travel to team gear. We look forward to this time of the year.”

All proceeds will support both the Little Rock wrestling program and Every Arkansan. When purchasing, there is an option to directly donate a ham to Every Arkansan to give to local families. With 39% of people in Arkansas living below the poverty line, your support will directly provide holiday meals for the community.

Hams weigh from 8-10 pounds, feed up to 16 people, and have a price tag of $55.

Each ham comes custom-ordered and fully cooked, with the option of smoked, sugared, or a smoked and sugared combination. Smoked hams are done professionally using hand-cut wood, while sugared hams are seasoned with a blend of brown sugar and spices which results in delicious, light, sweet, and salty flavor.

All hams will be available for pickup on Dec. 19 from 12-6 p.m. at the Hatcher Wrestling Facility on the campus of UA Little Rock. Orders will be accepted through Dec. 15 and can be made via this online link.
