Perry Wrestling Foundation is proud to announce Senator Chuck Hall as the 2021 recipient of the Lifetime Service to Perry Wrestling Award.
The Hall Family has a long and proud history in Perry as Chuck is a 4th generation descendant of a pioneer family that settled in Perry during the Cherokee Strip Land Run and the 3rd generation of a banking family that spans over 160 years.
Chuck has always been very active and supportive in countless activities and organizations in and around Perry, including serving two terms as Mayor of Perry. Chuck was elected to the Oklahoma State Senate in 2018, representing Noble, Pawnee, Logan, and Kingfisher counties.
Chuck got his start in wrestling early as he was a member of the Perry Wresting team for many years, including being a proud part of the 1985 state championship team.
Chuck and Perry Wrestling go hand in hand as he has been an active and energetic supporter of Perry Wrestling for over 25 years and counting. Under Chuck’s leadership, Exchange Bank has been the proud sponsor of the Perry Tournament of Champions as well as providing vital support to numerous wrestlers and teams. Whatever the need, Chuck is always eager and happy to support Perry Wrestling and his passionate support has helped Perry maintain its title of Wrestling Capital of the World!
In addition to his support of the Perry Wrestling teams, Chuck, from the very first meeting, played a critical role in every phase of the successful completion of the Perry Wrestling Monument Park. In fact, the project may not have ever gotten off the ground if it wasn’t for Chuck’s knowledge and determined efforts working with the City of Perry in gaining approval of closing the alley and moving of utilities.
As a small token of appreciation for his passionate support of Perry Wrestling, Roger Tetik, president of the Perry Wrestling Foundation, presented Chuck with a print of the Perry Wrestling Monument Park which states “In Grateful Recognition to Chuck Hall / 2021 Lifetime Service to Perry Wrestling Award.”
In addition to being recognized this evening, Chuck’s name will be etched in granite at the Perry Wrestling Monument Park, forever recognizing his incredible support of Perry Wrestling.
Thank you, Chuck, for your long-lasting and passionate support of Perry Wrestling!
