Join Our Team: Help Supercharge Athletics and Our Future Stars

Home | news | Join Our Team: Help Supercharge Athletics and Our Future Stars

With the Olympics, Paralympics and World Under 20 Championships just around the corner and Brisbane 2032 on the horizon, now is your opportunity to be part of history and help shape the future of Australian athletics.

Show your support for elite and emerging athletes and mark the end of financial year with a tax-deductible donation of $2 or more to The Athletics Foundation to help athletes reach the pinnacle of their potential.

Many athletes juggle a full-time training load while also managing study and/or work. Carrying a full-time job while training to excel as an athlete is almost impossible.

Expenses can be significant, and include things like:

  • equipment: footwear, throwing implements, massage guns, compression equipment, gym equipment, etc
  • training and competition fees: track access, gym memberships, pilates classes, coaching fees [athletics coach, strength and conditioning coach], club registration and race entry fees.
  • travel and accommodation: both domestically and internationally to attend and participate in various competitions ahead of the major championships
  • medical and other support: physiotherapy, massage, nutrition, etc .

Not to mention basic living expenses of putting a roof over their head and paying their bills, the right food on the table, and fuel in the car to get to training and appointments.

Donations, no matter how big or small can make a huge difference to whether an athlete can reach their full potential or not.

Here are a few examples of what your donations might assist with:

Now’s the time to join the team and invest in our athletes during this golden decade of athletics on the runway to Brisbane 2032.
