Support Seth’s Snowboarding Future

$970 of $8,000 goal
Given by 9 generous donors in 12 weeks

13 year old Seth has been chosen to attend a high level snowboarding camp in America. He needs your help to continue his training.

Otago

Seth is a passionate snowboarder and has been offered an incredible opportunity to be a part of Snowsports NZ National Development (ND) Camps in Breckenridge and Mammoth, USA this coming January.

The ND is a series of camps to train and identify athletes who are on track for High Performance Development carding and on track for the Olympic games within the next 3 cycles. It is an exciting opportunity for those young children aged 12-16 who are passionate about their sport and have been talent identified.

Seth is enthusiastic and passionate to continue with his snowboarding career and hopes to one day represent NZ at the Olympic games however, because we have only just received notice that he has been selected for this amazing program funding the amount required will be a problem. SSNZ provides all the training costs, insurance, gym sessions and transport. However, Seth must fund the airfares, lift passes and snowboard equipment. Seth is committed to assisting fundraising as much as he is able, but he still must attend school and pass his subjects and also fit in training.

Last year Seth worked incredibly hard busking (playing violin at local markets) and saving enough to get himself to training in Japan however, that used all his money and he is desperately trying to save and earn again to be able to attend this amazing opportunity. He now has taken up teaching violin to beginner students as well. Any small support provided would be greatly appreciated by Seth.
