Team USATF Torun W#1 Program Status

Status of the Team USATF Torun Program

The formal launch of this program is made possible by the fact that the USATF National Office, through CEO Max Siegel and COO Renee Washington, has stepped forward and allocated up to $25,000 from USATF (over and above the regular MTF and MLDR budgets) towards this effort. In addition, an anonymous donor has pledged another $25,000 as a base for a matching donation program. So, we have those $50,000 in pledges so far, subject to raising an additional $50,000 and more. After only a few days and with no formal solicitation, an additional $10,000 has been committed, bringing the total to approximately $60,000. In addition, virtually all members of the MTF Executive Committee have made individual commitments to contribute.

Long-term USATF Masters is seeking a corporate sponsor or year-to-year sponsors for this program. The ultimate goal is to create an endowment of approximately $5 million whose proceeds would allow the program to proceed indefinitely. But with less than three months to the Indoor Championships in Torun, the need is immediate, hence this need for financial buy-in. In this case, we need to rely on ourselves and we need help now to make this happen.

Support the Team USATF Torun!
