Kaliya Lincoln-Rising Elite Gymnast

Kaliya Lincoln is a rising elite gymnast training at Airborne Gymnastics in Santa Clara, CA. She has recently been invited to be a member of the US Developmental Team and attend a series of training camps at the US National Team Training Center outside Houston, TX. This is a huge honor and mirrors the path that many of the 2016 US Olympians took on their journey to Rio. While Kaliya has fulfilled the physical ability that the USA Gymnastics National Staff expects, there is also a surmounting financial commitment that comes with the invitation. She was invited to the same camp in February, but due to financial constraints had to decline the invitation. Through a video submission to Valeri Liukin, the newly appointed US National Team Coordinator, she was able to get noticed again and re-invited to the camp. We truly feel that if Kaliya is not able to attend these camps her journey to one day represent the United States will be greatly hindered. The costs of these camps along with the normal competition expenses is upwards of $20,000 for the year. Here's a financial break down of what we're expecting over the next year:
*Competition Expenses $6,500

* October 2016 Camp $1,500

   
* November 2016 Camp$1,500

   
* January 2017 Camp $1,500

   
* February 2017 Camp $1,500


* May 2017 Camp $1,500

   
* June 2017 Camp $1,500

   
* July 2017 Camp $1,500


* October 2017 Camp $1,500

   
* November 2017 Camp $1,500

   

Any contribution that can be made will be more than appreciated. This money will be put to great use through Kaliya's hard work and determination. If you haven’t already please take a look at the above video of Kaliya, and we again thank you for any contribution that can be made!

Kaliya's number one goal is to get a college scholarship. All of the money donated to this fund will go directly towards covering Kaliya's and her coaches' expenses for competitions and camps. If you are a booster or an affiliate with a university please do not make a financial contribution as it could effect Kaliya's NCAA eligibility. If you can simply pass along the information to those who can donate, that will be contribution enough and much appreciated.
