OUR INSPIRATION

The Christian Orozco Scholarship is a testament to the impact that one person can have on their community. Christian Orozco was not only a talented wrestler but also kind, compassionate individual who touched the lives of everyone he met. His family established this scholarship in his memory, to continue the legacy of helping others that he believed in. Chris was the epitome of a leader, always leading by example and uplifting others.

As a Team Captain at Saginaw High School, he inspired his teammates to give their all and to never leave anyone behind. His dedication and love for the sport continued into college at Wayland Baptist University, where he pursued his dream of wrestling. Despite his untimely passing, Chris’ impact on the Saginaw community and beyond will never be forgotten. He was a son, a brother, and a teammate who always put others first, and he touched so many lives in such a short time. His family established this scholarship to continue the work that Chris started, to help others and make a difference in the world.
