2013 CHALLENGE GRANTS UPDATE
The U.S. Olympic Committee has set forth the challenge for USA Weightlifting to raise a total of $35,000 in athlete support for the 2013 calendar year. If a total of $35,000 can be raised, the U.S. Olympic Committee will match the $35,000 in athlete support.
Support the Athletes of USA Weightlifting. Our Weightlifters Need Your Help!
Generous friends, family and fans of the weightlifting community have been making gifts of support ranging from $10-$1,000 over the past 11 months. At present day, we have a little over $10,000 to raise by the end of 2013. Gifts of support can be designat- ed where YOU want them to go: Youth, Junior, Senior, Master or University programs. Your support will allow athletes to train to achieve their goal of competing at the pin- nacle of sport, the Olympic Games.
Those who choose to make a gift of support will receive a National Champion auto- graph, a phone call from an Olympic Training Center Resident Athlete and a “I helped lift USA Weightlifting” bracelet. The individual who donates the largest amount for the month of December 2013 will also receive an autographed flag from the 2013 World Championship Team, which also includes the signatures of several Olympians!
Remember, with a majority of countries fielding teams supported by their govern- ment, members of Team USA are placed at a disadvantage since our athletes receive ZERO funding from the federal government. While other higher-profile American athletes may sign endorsement contracts, no such opportunity is yet available to the athletes of USA Weightlifting. Our athletes rely on the support of a committed base of individuals who have a passion for our sport and athletes.
Our athletes need to have access to quality facilities, the best coaching, year-round training and international competition opportunities in their pursuit of Olympic excel- lence. To meet those needs, USA Weightlifting is working hard to obtain and direct the resources that will assure a place on the podium at the Olympic Games. Your support can help the athletes of USA Weightlifting raise up the Stars and Stripes for Team USA!
USA Weightlifting operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and supports its mission by providing resources necessary to achieve excellence. Your contributions to USA Weightlifting are tax-deductible.
