Help get Fin & Cam get to the US Ski & Snowboard Nationals in 2019

$3,235 of $6,000 goal
Given by 16 generous donors in 9 weeks

Please help support us in our bid to compete at the US Ski & Snowboard Nationals & our journey towards representing NZ at the Olympics!

Otago

We are 12 year old twins from Wanaka, NZ who absolutely love the snow & snowsports! Fin is a freeskier and Cam is a snowboarder. Recently we were selected for the Snowsports NZ National Development Team. This team will be working towards competing for NZ in World Cup and Winter Olympic events over the next 8 years.

The team is heading over to Colorado, USA in January 2019 to train and then compete in the US Ski & Snowboard Nationals later in the season. This event is seen as one of the first steps in the pathway for young aspiring snowsports athletes wanting to compete internationally. We would be following in the footsteps of other renowned skiers and snowboarders such as Nico Porteous, Zoi Synott, Fin Bilious and the Wells brothers.

We are raising funds to help with the cost of our travel, training and competition. With your support we can make it to the USA to compete and also help kickstart our journey towards representing NZ at the Winter Olympics in years to come.

As a show of appreciation, we would like to offer anyone that donates over $200 to this cause, a free night of accommodation in our boutique studio in Wanaka (on an agreed date).

Use of funds

Funds raised will pay for the cost of travel to the USA, lift passes and competition entry. The funding goal of $6000 covers part of the total cost so any surplus raised would go towards paying for ski & snowboard equipment and overseas accommodation.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
