  • The NNF ‘Drive for 25’ Returns

    (Press release)

    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.

    Where do the NNF Funds go?  The NNF supports all levels of development.  Past funding ranges from World Cup Starts with Podium winners such as Kikkan Randall, Jessie Diggins, Sadie Bjornsen, Taylor and Bryan Fletcher, Caitlin Gregg and Simi Hamilton, and will now aid new budding stars such as Patrick Caldwell, Scott Patterson, Julia Kern, Katherine Ogden, Hannah Halverson, Adam Loomis, Kevin Bickner and so many others.

    The NNF has been funding development for years. Every year the NNF funds a large portion of the US World Junior and U23 teams helping athletes across the nation, 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 and 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” beginning October 23, 2017 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 Win!

    Supporting Tomorrow’s Nordic Stars Today

    We’re kicking off a new NNF initiative today: our NNF Master’s Auction went live this morning. A fundraising initiative with a $100,000 matching grant attached, the master’s auction aims to raise $20,000 with amazing gear, and exclusive services. You can see it HERE.

    As a development organization, we’re primarily focused on rising juniors, the promising young skiers that have a shot at making skiing history. Our tagline is “SupportingTomorrow’s Nordic Skiing Stars Today” after all.

    To remedy a bit more outreach, we’ve worked on creating a few more opportunities to support masters racing at the highest level and to create a place where the amazing industry support for the NNF can intersect with Masters racers looking for products and services on the inside of the game.

    With industry partners like Swix, Fischer, Bjorn Dahlie, Ibex Outdoor Clothing, L.L. Bean, Podiumwear, Caldwell Sport, Madshus, HWK, Woodski and more, you can bid on products used by great skiers, lessons provided by great skiers, and souvenirs like autographed World Cup bibs from great skiers. As usual, all fund support our pillar projects to increase skiing development.

    Check out the NNF Auction and stay tuned for more masters initiatives in the months to come.
