Hello,

We’re excited to share an incredible opportunity for Graci Dietrich! As many of you know, Graci was born with severe hearing loss, but she has never let that stand in her way. She continues to overcome challenges with strength and determination.

In the summer of 2023, Graci proudly represented the United States as a member of the USA Deaf National Basketball Team, bringing home a Gold Medal from the World Championships. We are thrilled to announce that she has once again been selected to represent Team USA—this time at the Deaf Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, this November!

This is an extraordinary honor; however, funding for the Deaf Olympics is extremely limited. Each athlete is responsible for raising their own funds to cover travel, tournament fees, uniforms, gear, and training camp expenses. Any support you can offer would mean the world and will directly help Graci as she proudly represents our country on the international stage.

For more information, please visit usadeafbasketball.org and deaflympics.com. The Deaf Basketball Association is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization—Tax ID 85-2421970—for those who wish to donate for tax purposes.

Thank you for supporting Graci and Team USA!
