2010 Team Funding!
Athletes take note!
Sponsors your help is needed!
February 14, 2010 -- Marietta, GA
USA Wildwater is committed to trying to provide meaningful sponsorship for our athletes and support crew. The Wildwater Committee has budgeted for $7,000 for the 2010 World Championships/World Cup Team! We know that funding often means the difference between team members going to Europe or staying home.
Obviously, we would like to do much more, but the $7k we are committing to will help get the ball rolling! Certainly, if the opportunity arrises we will do more!
The athlete sponsorship is divided into two categories with half allocated to a general team fund and the other to and performance funding.
- The general team funding will be geared toward Team Support, Management and Coaching. Amounts not used will
likely be provided to ahletes based on the venues they will be attending.
- The Performance Fund will go to those athletes who are working the hardest and racing the best. The initial threshold to qualify for the funding of 13% is certainly obtainable by any serious athlete who dedicates themselves to wildwater racing.
