LITTLE ROCK – The Little Rock wrestling team has launched their fifth annual holiday Ham Sale, setting a goal of selling 650 total hams to both 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 a record 200 hams to families in the Little Rock area, over 75 more than the previous year. The team needs your help to surpass that this holiday season.
“This is a great tradition and fantastic fundraiser that is also 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 helps us with everything from team travel to team gear. We always look forward to this time of the year.”
How to Order or Donate
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 or sugared. 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 Tuesday, December 19 from 12-6 p.m. at the Hatcher Wrestling Facility on the campus of UA-Little Rock, just past the eSTEM building. Orders will be accepted through Friday, December 15.
