November 01, 2017 – It’s that time again!  Every year the U.S. Nordic Skiing community comes together to support the National Nordic Foundation’s (NNF) largest fundraising efforts of the season. It is time to become a part of the annual NNF Drive for 25.

Please join us in the 2017 D-25 campaign beginning October 23rd and help us raise money for skiing development for Cross Country, Nordic Combined and Ski Jumping.  The NNF: “Supporting Tomorrow’s Nordic Stars Today!” The National Nordic Foundation is the country’s premier grassroots sport fundraising organization.

With over $200,000 in the 2016-2017 season alone allocated to “pillar projects”, key events to help capitalize on the talent and drive of developing skiers, the NNF is creating a cultural change in the way skiers approach international competition.

The NNF has been funding development for years. Every year the NNF funds a large portion of the US B Team and World Cup Starts, the US World Junior and U23 teams helping athletes across the nation. The NNF gives money to U18 Nordic Nations Trip, the National U16 camp and Junior National Training Group Camp.  The NNF also gives money to every US Divisional Junior National Team and gives myriads of grants to clubs, coaches and officials at the community level.  The NNF is an integral part of our nation’s building blocks for success.  Furthermore, the NNF, through its annual fundraising efforts, the Drive for 25 and the NNF Auction, catalyzes the skiing community to come together.

Become a part of the National Nordic Foundation. Participate in this year’s “Drive for 25”  and help us spread the word on skiing, help our grassroots mission and help us get more racers to start line and to the top of the results. The Theme of this year’s campaign is “We Will”.  We Will “Drive for 25” and We Will Succeed!
