Fuel the Dream attracts donations towards travel for Olympian’s family members

A group of concerned supporters of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Wrestling Teams have made it possible for each wrestler on America's Olympic Wrestling Team to have two family members supporting them and the team in Beijing.

This badly needed support is a result of solicitations and donations from Beat the Streets Chairman Michael Novogratz, David Barry and Michael Malone. As the Fuel the Dream campaign became visible, it showed a real need and the result is clear: America and the wrestling community are behind the men and women of our Olympic Wrestling Teams.

USA Wrestling established the initiative Fuel the Dream to directly benefit the men and women of our Olympic Teams. When you contribute to Fuel the Dream, 50% of your donation will go, without any reductions, to the individuals that competed and made the 2008 Olympic Team at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials. The other 50% goes to help train athletes that will be on future World and Olympic Teams. USA Wrestling is a 501 (c) (3) and your contribution is tax deductible.

America's wrestlers make significant sacrifices on the road to representing the USA at the Olympic Games. Many delay careers and families, others pursue careers and families while competing in what we believe is the world's toughest sport.

All donations over $25 will receive a unique Fuel the Dream 2008 Olympic Games pin.
