Donation to the Vision

Hello friends and family!

Thank you for supporting us over the years. You all have come to cross country and track meets to cheer for us. You have asked for photos and video of our Visionaries in competition. You have called us to wish us well and to send us blessings on our performances. Many of you have sent monetary donations to support the journey as well. Sincerely, thank you.

This fall marks a new year for us. Let me give you a brief recap of last year. Last fall, we had a cross country team of 7 runners. We competed very well in local competition, and we were even able to see ourselves as top ranked cross country runners nationally, for our respective age groups.

Indoor season was during the winter months, and we traveled to compete at a few different indoor track and field facilities. We went to New York City, Staten Island, NY, Virginia Beach and we competed at home in the DMV. We finished our indoor season at the AAU Championships where 73% of the team came home with a medal and added an All American title to their name. Almost 90% of the team finished here with a new personal record. Middle and high schoolers were eligible to go on to compete at the Adidas Indoor National Championships. We had 4 athletes compete here. They all competed in 2 events, and we had 4 top 10 finishes. 

Outdoor season was during the spring and summer. This season has qualification rounds for athletes to earn their way to the Junior Olympics. Every athlete from our team earned their way to the Regional Championships! We saw many progressions from each athlete and the majority of the team earned a personal record here. Ultimately, 64% of the team earned their way to Houston, Texas to compete at the Junior Olympics! They all fought hard all year, and 1 of our athletes earned a Junior Olympic medal. Some of our athletes had personal bests, and we even had 1 athlete win their “section” at the Junior Olympics.

This year, we are traveling again to New York and Virginia Beach. We are also traveling to Tennessee for the cross country Nationals, and to Iowa for the Junior Olympics. These donations are directly supporting the athlete of your choice. Our young Visionaries will be training well to be able to perform their best at each meet. Our athletes are student - athletes who balance school, tutoring, and studying among training and competitions. Many of our student - athletes are honor roll students, and they also do other educational activities. This year, will get the experience of competing at a few state of the art track and field stadiums, they will compete at a number of high profile youth track and field meets, and their performances will allow for them to create a track and field profile that people from all over the globe can view.

Your donations last year have supported athlete’s individually for their participation, and it has helped them grow their skill and love for track. We have purchased a team tent for sunny and rainy days, we have purchased new equipment such as hurdles and starting blocks, and we have rented facilities that have the equipment we need for training.

We are off to a new year and there is plenty more to learn and to grow. We are asking for you to be a part of the vision and to support our Visionaries! Athlete's earn 80% per donation. The other 20% is donated back to the collective team. Place the name of the athlete you support in the Discount Code at Checkout.

If you would like to just donate to the team in general, you can do that here as as well without adding any name to the "Discount Code".

No donation is too small! We appreciate the love and support you have shown our children, to help them make our visions a reality!

Thank you,

 Coach Nayda Pirela
