Huey Hudson Jr Memorial Foundation | South Bend Riley | Wrestling Scholarship

Honoring the past. Changing the future.

Our Mission

Grappling with gun violence.

Huey Hudson Jr. was an excellent leader for the Riley Wrestling Team. He was known for his humor and the confidence he instilled in his teammates. Huey's wrestling talents culminated in a dominant senior season that ended with a fourth place finish in state. Huey remained involved with the Riley Wrestling program, attending offseason practices and in-season matches. His life was tragically taken from us due to gun violence in our community. Though his life ended suddenly, his legacy continues in the Huey Hudson Jr. Memorial Fund, an initiative dedicated to preventing gun violence while also helping wrestlers to continue their education past high school.
