Our Crowdfunding Groups
UCLA Figure Skating was founded in 2012 as a student-run, intercollegiate organization within club sports. Since then, we have achieved incredible success and growth: qualifying for the National Intercollegiate Finals seven times and ranking among the top 5 teams in the nation. Every season, we compete in three sectional competitions in the Pacific Coast in hopes of being the top 4 teams to qualify to the National Final.
Without easy access to training facilities, coaches, or transportation, our team depends on one another to accommodate training time in between a rigorous course schedule and commute time. All of our skaters pay for training, equipment, and competitions out of pocket. Without financial support from the school, funding for training, the costs of traveling to competitions, entry fees, accommodation, and associated costs can be very expensive for our skaters.
This year, we have qualified for the National Intercollegiate Final at Adrian College, Michigan and we are asking for your financial support to alleviate the individual expenses on our skaters. We have set our fundraising goal to $4,000, which would cover the entry fees of each skater and assist in alleviating transportation and accommodation costs. Supporting our journey to this final competition would allow our skaters to continue uncovering their new and/or restored passions for the sport.
For some of our skaters, college has been their first competitive experience, while others have spent several years prior competing in regional, sectional, and national competitions. Regardless of their previous experiences with figure skating, all of our skaters have found a new family within the team, bonded by our shared passion for figure skating.
In the past SPARK campaign, we raised $5,170. The amazing support from our donors helped support the costs of our skater’s journey towards the 2019 National Final. This year, we have set our goal to $4,000, and would appreciate any donation to support our journey to nationals.
Our team promotes sportsmanship, teamwork, and community in ways that benefit our skaters beyond skating. By contributing to this campaign, you will not only help us attend Nationals, but will support our team’s growth upon our previous achievements. Through this experience, we will be able to establish a stronger community between our skaters, attain our team goal to become National medalists, while opening new opportunities for our futures. Your donations are the building blocks of our success, and we appreciate any amount you are able to donate!
All donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your support, and go Bruins!
