Support Team Mihm's Curling Dreams!

We are David and Alice Mihm (Team Mihm/Mihm), a brother & sister junior mixed doubles curling team who seek to qualify for U21 nationals! Our main goal is to compete in the two upcoming 2025/26 season qualifying events, place in at least the top four (which will secure a berth in the 2026 U21 Mixed Doubles event), and, ultimately, win the title and move on to worlds! In addition, we plan on playing in multiple juniors and open mixed doubles tournaments & bonspiels to hone our skills and, ideally, come out victorious.

The purpose of this GoFundMe is to help offset some of the costs associated with our ambitious goal. First, we would like to obtain new, high-quality uniforms. Qualifying events, U21 Nationals, bonspiels, and tournaments all require entry fees which can cost as much as $500 per event. Many of these events require travel and, with that, come associated costs like food, transportation, and lodging. Brooms & curling shoes need to be maintained and broom heads need to be replaced for every event. In addition, U21 competitive events mandate the use of specialized, more expensive broom heads.

We thank you in advance for your generosity in helping us reach our goals and realize our dreams! In the end, our overall aim is to one day walk in the footsteps of curling siblings Matt & Becca Hamilton (PyeongChang Winter Games 2018) and represent our country at the Olympics!

Alice and David have both been awarded the "Up & Coming Curler" award from their coaches at the St. Paul Curling Club. The award is given to the curler who not only shows great improvement year-to-year, it also celebrates those who demonstrate a deep understanding of the ins-and-outs of the sport. Alice and David also both received the highly coveted "Kyle Satrom Sportsmanship Award," a peer-determined honor given to those who truly exemplify the generosity and respectful spirit of curling!

FROM ALICE...

My name is Alice Mihm and I've been curling for about seven years, two of them competitively. David and I previously competed in U21 Mixed Doubles Nationals in 2024 and plan on playing in the Duluth and Portage qualifiers this coming season. Together, we compliment each other's personalities, styles, and strengths within the game. But, to make our team a real success, we'll need the help of our lovely community along the way. Reaching the top of the podium has been a dream of mine for as long as I have played this wonderful sport, and I know with David by my side and your generous support, we can make it come true!

FROM DAVID...

Hi! My name is David Mihm. I'm a competitive 15-year-old curler who really got into the sport in 2021 and, since then, have never looked back. My sister and I have been playing the sport together for a while, and I guess you can say we know each other pretty well. We are trying to take the next step towards competitive curling for our age bracket, and that's U21s Mixed Doubles nationals. We firmly believe we can get to the top, but we need help in order to travel and afford places to stay while we're out of town. Hope you can help us take the next step to the ultimate goal of being the best in the world! Thank you!

LASTLY, we plan to create a special team T-shirt that will be available to the general public, which will include the names of everyone who pledges at least $50 to this GoFundMe! Shirts will be available for purchase online following the conclusion of our fundraiser. We will also send one free T-shirt to every individual who donates at least $100! Donations of $500 or more qualify to have the donor's name featured on the official jerseys worn by the team at events!

NOTE: We know that not everyone wants their name out there. Therefore, know that should you donate at least $50, having your name appear on the shirt and/or jersey is optional! We will contact people individually to make sure they WANT to appear on the shirt/jersey!
