"To support the youth of our community in their pursuit of both athletic and academic excellence!"
Each club member is very active in the community. Many times these activities involve helping individuals or groups with monetary or manpower contributions so that their needs can be met. The membership focuses on the youth of our community by donating time and money to local youth sports teams and giving annual scholarships to worthy local high school graduates.
Since 1981, Thielmann’s Athletic Club has recognized students who demonstrate strong academic commitment, participation in athletics or extracurricular activities, and positive character within their school and community. Our goal is to support students as they pursue a strong future while acknowledging the effort and dedication they have shown throughout their high school years.
We believe that academics and athletics together help students develop essential life skills, including discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and leadership. By investing in students through this scholarship, we aim to encourage continued growth beyond high school and into their future endeavors.
Proceeds will go towards our annual scholarship.

Each year Thielmann's Athletic Club awards a college scholarship to graduating seniors from North, and South High Schools, Sheboygan, WI. Since 1981 (see history) we've been handing out scholarships and donations to local youth sport clubs. Our first award was for $300 but, we have continued to grow and raise our annual scholarship to $6,000. This year we have chosen two recipients and awarded each graduate $3,000!
