FUEL CHAMPIONS.
When Team USA succeeds on the world stage, we all win.
While sport performance at USA Curling is generously supported and funded by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), there is a significant gap between the dollars we can provide and the resources available to competitors in other countries.
While there is no substitute for dedication and hard work, many of our best players are forced to make difficult decisions related to curling, career, and personal finances. Money donated to FUEL CHAMPIONS will go towards Athlete Health & Wellness, Direct Athlete Support, and National Team resources that help ensure our players have what they need to succeed on the world stage.
Participation in the Olympic and Paralympic Games is not guaranteed—we need strong finishes at World Championships to secure our place. But when we invest more in sport performance, we give our athletes what they need to succeed at World Championships, earn a place in the Games for Team USA, and finish on the podium. It’s an investment that’s valuable if you love the sport—we all know how the Olympics and Paralympics spike interest in our sport that grows participation and benefits clubs.
When you FUEL CHAMPIONS, your donation covers everything athletes need to be successful both on and off the ice, including stipends that cover training and travel, mental health support, injury and illness prevention, nutrition resources, and more.
There are many different ways donors can make an impact. If you're interested in giving, have questions about giving, or are looking to set up a giving plan, please contact USA Curling CEO Dean Gemmell.
