The Challenges Young Athletes Face…

Foundation

World class athletes must make life altering sacrifices to develop the skills and athleticism needed to compete on sport’s highest platforms. These sacrifices include long hours at the court, field, pool, rink, and gym. Many of the best athletes in the United States simply cannot afford to make this kind of commitment to excellence. Listed to the right are just a few of the obstacles contributing to the lack of participation in Olympic sports in the United States…

    • The Majority of our great athletes never attempt to play Olympic Sports
    • Olympic Athletes often place their lives and education on hold for years
    • US teams are not competitive in many of the world’s most popular sports
    • Elite athletes are often recognized too late to achieve levels of Olympic mastery

First Circle Membership…

To kick off the creation of the SportsQuest Foundation, we are inviting donors to become part of our ‘First Circle’ and part of the SportsQuest family. First Circle donors will have VIP access to professional and Olympic athletes during all SportsQuest sponsored events. Our goal is to raise $500,000 by January 28th, 2012. To be a founding member of the SportsQuest Foundation’s First Circle, you must provide your donation on or before our benchmark date in January of 2012.

Our First Circle initiative is an effort to raise charitable donations that will be used to support the movement to bring aspiring Olympic athletes and Olympic sports programs to Richmond, Virginia. The majority of the funds generated will be used for academic and athletic scholarships for athletes who are pursing high performance in Olympic sports. Funds will also be used for the development of an Athlete Village on the SportsQuest campus as well as further enhancements of the sports venues available for elite athletic training.
