Josh D'Annunzio representing the US in USPA Worlds

Hi, my name is Julie and I am fundraising for Josh D’Annunzio and his trip to Australia! Josh was asked to represent the United States of America in the USPA Drug Tested Powerlifting Worlds! Worlds this year is being hosted in Queensland, Australia! 

Josh was born and raised in Scranton, PA. He started his passion for lifting, which led to powerlifting, while training for football at Scranton High School. After graduating from Scranton High, Josh attended Kings College for Elementary Education. With his passion for teaching and his academic achievements at King’s  College, Josh then was hired by the Dunmore School District in 2020 to teach Kindergarten where he still remains working. 

If you know Josh, he trained long and hard to compete in powerlifting, which started in 2017 while he was earning his degree. Josh’s most recent powerlifting achievement was placing 2nd in the 100k weight class in Nationals. 

Being asked to compete for the USA in Worlds is Josh’s dream come true, however, this dream comes at quite a cost. Any donation or form of support would be greatly appreciated and never forgotten!
