BECOME A SUPPORTING MEMBER OF USA WEIGHTLIFTING! 

The mission statement of the USA Weightlifting is "for our athletes to win gold medals in the Olympic, Pan American and World Championships through the development of Weightlifting in the United States." To make this mission a reality, there are several facets of the entire program that must come together. One is having the resources to conduct the necessary training and development programs.

It takes a tremendous amount of resources to conduct our current programs. Every year USA Weightlifting faces the situation of having to make decisions on which programs can be funded and which programs must "wait". These are never easy decisions; however, USA Weightlifting does have a mechanism in place that allows you to have an impact on our ability to conduct all USA Weightlifting programs. This exciting opportunity to assist USA Weightlifting is through the "Go For the Gold!" program.

Our sights are focused on the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and the 2012 Olympic Games in London. With your assistance we can further improve and develop a wide variety of programs that will assist the athletes and coaches of Olympic weightlifting.

USA Weightlifting has very high, but obtainable, goals. Achieving these goals will once again put USA Weightlifting athletes back on the medal stand. As we begin to chart the future, we need your assistance. You are a vital link to our success!

USA Weightlifting is a 501 (c)(3) designated tax-exempt organization. This means that, in addition to your donation supporting the dreams of some of America's best athletes, your donation is also considered a charitable contribution.
