Support Me

Dear Supporters and Fans!  

It takes a village to support an Olympic athlete . Although I have kept quiet about finances in the past, I am now reaching out to my supporters who have been there for me through it all. 

Over the last few years, marketing partnership and sponsorships of Canada’s national ski racing teams have declined dramatically while the costs of training and competition, largely in Europe, have increased significantly. As a result, my national team fees have increased to $45,000 this season. With your support, I am able to offset this cost significantly. 

To help athletes, Alpine Canada (ACA) has introduced a new program to subsidize our team fees. For every $1 I can garner in donations, ACA will offset my team fees by $1.50 plus the donor receives a tax receipt (Canada or the USA) for the amount of their donation. It’s a win-win proposition for donors and athletes! 

I know times are extremely difficult and there are many people in need, please donate only if you are in a position to do so. Please don’t hesitate to contact me via my contact page for more information or to share any ideas! 

Alternatively, to make a donation using a credit card you can visit https//:alpinecanada.org/donate/make-a-donation - choose the team fee matching program from the drop down menus and write my name or any other athlete’s name in the special instructions. (Please see the example below). Other forms of donations are also possible, such as a cheque, please contact me to learn more. 

  

My team behind the scenes is with me from the moment I click into my skis until I reach for the finish line. I look forward to making you proud this season. I am grateful for all your support.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for joining me on this journey and for being amazing fans of ski racing. - Erin
