I am Brian Dixon, the Chairman of the USA Racquetball Junior Committee...

USA Racquetball has decided to not pay for hospitality at the national championship events, including the USA Racquetball Junior National Festival and Championships. The Junior Committee felt that the Junior event cannot go without hospitality (daily - breakfast items, lunch, and dinner) as it can be an inconvenience time and money-wise for players and families, after they have already paid to get to the event and for lodging. Unlike the other national championship events, this one is a family venture for many. We decided to create sponsor packages for individuals and businesses to support the players and families. Sponsorships start at $250 and information can be found here - https://bit.ly/USAR-Jr-Festival-Sponsors with the online form found here - https://bit.ly/USAR-Jrs-Sponsor-Form

For some, they may want to help, but the $250 may be too high at the moment. That is why I created this page. You can help with the Sponsor fund at your chosen level. Of course, if you know an individual or business that would like to support at the $250 or higher level, please share the links above.

What do the sponsor funds cover?

**Daily hospitality (morning items, lunch, and dinner) for players, families, coaches, etc.

**5 $500 Awards that players submitted essays for. The essays express what difference the $500 can mean to them and their family in traveling to the event, as well as what Racquetball means to them, etc. This year we had 13 essays submitted, with the final five to be announced soon.

**Saturday banquet - This is an event where the All Americans are awarded, top esprit and world cup players are honored, special speeches are made, and food is served. We want this to be a memorable experience for ALL.

**Any leftover funds go to further junior development such as TEAM USA camp...

When and where is the event?

This year the event is June 25-29th at the University of Minnesota.

Info about the event can be found here - https://conta.cc/3CWwM1B

With the event happening in June, I ask that all commitments be made by June 1st. I will collect the funds and transfer to USA Racquetball to apply to our specific needs.

Every contribution makes a difference towards this experience for the Racquetball Nex Genners, whether it be to assist with the convenience and cost of food or helping a player make the trip that may not have been able to without the $500 Award.

Please contribute what you can and share this with others that may also want to contribute...

Thank you,

Brian
