TO HUNGARY WITH TEAM USA
I am honored to have the opportunity to represent Team USA at the Futures International event in Budapest, Hungary from July 30 - August 7, 2024. I humbly ask for you to support the Olympic Development Program and the National Team Pipeline, through which I have been given the opportunity to compete internationally. Thank you for supporting ODP, USA Water Polo, and me. Go USA!
Ahead of attending this trip I have pledged to raise at least $4,750 to support the Olympic Development Program and the National Pipeline Program. USA Water Polo receives no government funding or funding from the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee. This program is only possible with donor support.
