Olympic Bound! Funding Nationals
Donation protected
Today I am the top 125 pound female boxer in the country. My goal is to be the top 125 pound female boxer in the world and eventually an Olympian in 2020! In order to do that I need to continue to travel to multiple tournaments a year and compete with the best.
Last year, I funded all of these tournaments out of pocket. I also had a full time teaching job. Being on the US National Boxing Team, I had to leave my job in order to train and travel with the team. This means I'm using every bit of money I make to pay bills and there's not much left for travelling to tournaments. Thats why I'm asking for your help.
There are 3 tournaments that I currently plan on going to. The first two are in July, the third (and most important) is in December. Below is the breakdown of where the money will go, these are all approximate costs, it could be more or less for each.
National Golden Gloves
· Hotel 500
· Flight 350
· Food 150
· Transportation to/from airport 30
· Total 1030
Ringside World Championships
· Hotel 600
· Flight 350
· Food 150
· Transportation Car Rental 300
· Total 1400
US Nationals (this tournament qualifies me to stay on the National Team)
· Hotel 700
· Flight 350
· Food 150
· Transportation to/from airport 30
· Total 1230
Final Total 3660
I changed my goal to $4000 because of the fees incurred by GoFundMe.
7.9% of $4000 = $316
I'm approximating about 70 donors at $.30 a piece = $21
$4000 - 316 - 21 = $3663
As you can see, these are not cheap trips. However they are very important for helping me accomplish my goals.
Anything you can do to help is GREATLY appreciated. Even small amounts, like $5 will add up. I know I have a lot of friends and family out there. I'm counting on all of you to help me achieve greatness!
Thank you in advance for anything you are able to contribute.
