Our Crowdfunding Groups
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended, but you can still support UCLA Olympic Weightlifting by clicking here.
Our campaign is complete, and we have surpassed our stretch goal! In 30 days, we raised $5,256 by 46 donors.
As our first year as a UCLA Club Sport, we cannot express how incredibly appreciative we are for all of the support that has been demonstrated over the past month of our campaign.
We currently have 6 athletes who have qualified for and intend to compete at the USA Weightlifting National University Championships, and 3 more who will compete to qualify this month. Your support has made it possible for us to travel and compete as a team. We hope to make an impact on the UCLA community and the USA Weightlifting community as we continue to reach our potentials as students, athletes, and most importantly, as a team.
Thank you again for your continued support,

Did you know that most beginner Olympic Weightlifting injuries come from losing grip of the barbell? Help us stay safe with some handy chalk! We all get clammy palms from time to time.
Knee injuries are no fun! Your support for our sleeves will help our sleeves support our joints, both physically and emotionally.
Hitting PRs can be really challenging, especially when you have to increase your increments by a ton! Having change plates allows us to hit records more often because going up in weight isnt so dramatic.
Meets can be super expensive! Luckily with your help, the biggest hurdle will be getting over the nerves of competition. At these meets, we can qualify for even bigger competitions, like University Nationals!
Everybody needs a uniform! In Olympic Weightlifting competitions, we have very specific (and expensive) attire we have to compete in. Lifting shoes are essential for safety and performance, for they provide stability and power in our explosive movements! They are as hard as a rock, but they sure do cost a pretty penny.
We have made it! When we qualify for University Nationals, we now get faced with something heavy: the fees! Help us celebrate our great success by lessening our financial burden.
This meet is quite far away! Columbus, Ohio is a rock, jump, skip, and a hop away, which means there is no commuting from home. This leads us to our competition home: a hotel! And I’m sure you know how pricey those get…
How will we get to our prized destination? We were planning on walking, but with your help we can take a private jet! Just kidding, standard airlines will do.
Now this is the real deal. We have qualified for nationals, found a way to get there, and have a comfy place to stay! How can we thank you enough? We cant! With this generous amount, our road to University Nationals has been paved, and our newly established club sport is officially in the works of success.
