USSA and RallyMe partner to help athletes
The U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, in partnership with RallyMe, announced today the launch of “USSA Crowdfunding”, a groundbreaking funding platform exclusively for its member athletes.
The website, USSA.RallyMe.com, is the next step in the USSA’s dedication to provide more state-of-the-art tools and programs for its athletes, parents, teams and clubs — 95 of whom raised more than $500,000 last year on RallyMe.com.
Tiger Shaw, President and CEO, U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association said: "RallyMe has provided our athletes and their families at all levels with a proven solution to help offset the costs of training and travel as they seek their own Olympic dreams.
The addition of a USSA-specific crowdfunding platform will greatly enhance those opportunities and expand them from national teams down into our local USSA club programs."
Luke Bodensteiner, Executive Vice President, Athletics, USSA added: "The USSA partnered with RallyMe to make it more efficient and productive for athletes to use a crowdfunding platform.
The partnership with RallyMe leverages our communications and marketing strength to create awareness, while RallyMe makes the operational aspects of crowdfunding simple for athletes who are focused first and foremost on their athletic development."
