Two-time Olympian and 2008 U.S. Olympic Freestyle Coach Kerry McCoy and Olympic silver medalist Zeke Jones have shown their support for their 2008 Olympic comrades by contributing to "Fuel the Dream" at:
www.fuelthedream.org
"It says a lot when two former Olympians 'enter the competition' and add their support to the groundswell of donations being sent to Fuel the Dream," said USA Wrestling's Larry Nugent. "Both Kerry and Zeke are being leaders because they both want to do their part to insure each of our 2008 Olympians know they've 'got their backs.' It isn't just about the amount but the symbolic nature of making a contribution that will serve to inspire our teams."
All donations over $25 will receive a unique Fuel the Dream 2008 Olympic Games pin.
USA Wrestling has established an initiative called Fuel the Dream designed to benefit directly 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 will have competed and made the 2008 Olympic Team at the Olympic Trials on June 13-15 in Las Vegas at the Thomas and Mack Center. 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, and others pursue careers and families while competing in what we believe is the world's toughest sport. Your donation will do three things for these athletes that have paid the price!
#1 It will assist them in bringing their family members to Beijing.
#2 It will allow them to focus their attention on the training necessary to defeat their opponents in Beijing instead of worrying about making ends meet.
#3 It will provide inspiration by showing them the depth of support you have for them…each donation helps no matter how much you contribute.
