Help With NAPF Championships Fees

Hello! My name is Diana Alrabadi. I’m a Powerlifter and have been powerlifting for about 2ish years now. I’ve never been so passionate about something as I am when it comes to this sport.

I recently competed at Powerlifting America’s University Nationals which qualified me for North America Powerlifting championships that will be held in Scottsdale, Arizona. This championship would be held between August 5th-10th I would be competing August 6th, representing Team USA as a 69kg Junior. Qualifying for a meet at such a high level as this meet is honestly a dream come true as I never thought I would be able go do so. With that being said, the only issue is as a full time college student I finically can’t afford all the fees that this meet requires and wouldn’t want money to be the reason why I can’t attend.

Here I’ve included a break down of the fees that was given to athletes in an email:
