<div><strong><em>Help Branden Compete for Olympic Gold in Clay Shooting</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Branden Fitzgerald. With the help of my dad (Sean), I’ve launched a fundraiser to fuel my dream of becoming an Olympic champion. My journey kicked off in 2022 when I was 13 and fell in love with clay target shooting the first time I picked up a shotgun. During my very first trap shooting lesson, I scored a 23—pretty solid for a beginner—and it was a sign of big things to come. After joining a youth shooting team, I started crushing it in different shooting disciplines. Just four months in, I was already competing in tournaments and bringing home wins. By 2024, I had my eyes set on Olympic gold and becoming a world champ in International Skeet. That year was huge—in the first month, I made it to my first final and snagged a silver medal in my third event in the junior men’s division at the Jacksonville International Skeet Open.

<div><strong><em>Guidance That’s Shaping Me</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve been lucky to train under Remington McBee, a legit pro in the shooting world, as part of McBee's Finest Pro Team. His coaching has leveled up my skills, from perfecting my aim to strengthening my mental focus. Plus, his connections in the sport have opened doors for me, getting me ready for the ups and downs of competing at the highest level.

<div><strong><em>Why I Need Your Help</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To keep pushing toward Olympic gold, I can’t do it alone—I need your support. Training, traveling, gear, and competition fees add up fast. Here’s how you can help make it happen:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>· Training and Coaching:</strong> Your donations will pay for expert coaching that fine-tunes my technique and keeps my head in the game.
</div>
<div><strong>· Travel and Competitions:</strong> Competing nationally and internationally takes me closer to the Olympics, but it’s expensive—your support covers flights, hotels, and entry fees.
</div>
<div><strong>· Equipment:</strong> Top-notch shotguns and gear aren’t cheap. Contributions will help me get and maintain the tools I need to perform my best.
</div>
<div><strong>· Community Fun:</strong> By backing me, you’re also supporting cool events like obstacle course fundraisers that bring people together and celebrate teamwork and sportsmanship.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>How You Can Jump In</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>· Donate:</strong> Every dollar counts—whether it’s big or small, it gets me closer to the podium.
</div>
<div><strong>· Spread the Word:</strong> Share my story with your friends and followers! Posting about my journey on social media can get more people excited to pitch in and cheer for youth sports.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Why This Matters</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>When you support me, it’s more than just money—it’s believing in a kid chasing a huge dream. It’s about pushing for Olympic greatness while showing what hard work, toughness, and community spirit can do. Together, we can make this happen. Thanks for thinking about joining me on this ride to Olympic gold!
