The Drive for 25
Posted on November 9th, 2011
| November 15, 2011 - |
What: 4000 American cross country ski enthusiasts backing their nation’s developing skiers on a single day.
When: November 15th, 2011
How: log onto http://ccgeneralfund.causevox.com/ and donate $25 on November 15th.
Why: U.S. cross country skiing is in financial trouble. While we have improved from a nation that seldom put a single skier in the top 15 on the World Cup to a nation with World Cup and World Championship podiums we are currently operating at a budget of less than a tenth of our toughest competitors. And more importantly our budget shortfalls are making it impossible for our younger developing athletes to afford the racing opportunities they require to compete among the best. This summer we have faced two rounds of budget cuts and another is looming. This challenge offers the cross country community a chance to pull together and keep the momentum building.
Who: You. NNF, the National Nordic Foundation is stepping up to fill these budget short falls. The NNF depends on you.
Details:
A letter from Matt Whitcomb and Pete Vordenberg:
On November 15th we are going to engage 4,000 members of the U.S. ski community to support our top developing athletes from the J1 to World Cup level. We would like to ask you to be involved in this effort. All of you already donate your time, money and energy to this sport. And that is why we need your help. You are already invested in the success of your athletes and the success of U.S. skiing.
The National Nordic Foundation’s “Drive for 25” on November 15th is a fundraiser based on as many $25 donations possible in a single day.
