NNF: Thank You from Executive Director Dave Knoop

Nationwide Nordic Basis NNF banner

A Thank You from NNF Executive Director, Dave Knoop

This year the Drive for 25 raised more than $ 215k for Cross Country and Nordic Mixed improvement applications. Each yr our Nordic local community says YES WE CAN and collectively we come collectively for our subsequent generation of aspiring athletes. Most importantly the funding is doing work in terms of getting far more athletes more opportunities to succeed at the various key development ranges in our sport.

Hunting back at some highlights of this yr&#8217s D25 and please forgive me if I ignored something or an individual as there are so several people to recognize and thank:

one. Obtaining our generous key donors throw down massive challenge matches that our local community responds to with enthusiam. Without our key large donors, getting the ball rolling early on would be difficult to create momentum.

two. Viewing Athlete and Coach Ambassador pages fill up and seeing the athletes make that ask. It appears our nordic athletes know how to get right after fund raising just as well as competing on skis. Particular thanks to Katharine Ogden (XC) and Ben Berend (NC) for major the way this yr and programs like Stratton Mountain School and Wasatch Junior Nordic Club demonstrate us how it&#8217s done.

three. Seeing the leaders give back to our sport like athletes on the U.S. Ski Team become NNF fund raising Ambassadors. They are no longer funded by the NNF however know how to give back to support the subsequent generation of athletes. How &#8217bout the previous timers like Marty Hall, John Caldwell, and Craig Ward to name a few, also creating their contributions.

4. Our Nordic information media was huge in acquiring the word out and helping help this trigger, i.e. SkiTrax, Skinnyski.com, SkiPost and Fasterskier.

five. Lastly Map Mondays,  Perhaps the map says it all, so much entertaining to view wow!  Our typically strong states like Vermont, Alaska and Colorado had been joined by Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York California, Washington and yes&#8230&#8230. UTAH!

In the near potential the NNF Board of Directors will allocate funding to our important Pillar Projects and we will report back to you as to what the  NNF funded allocations are, the place your money will immediately assistance skiing.

Thank you as often for your generous support.
