Weightlifting

The University of Michigan Weightlifting (UMWL) Team develops disciplined and motivated student-athletes through the sport of Olympic weightlifting. With structured team practices, a wonderful facility, and support from coaches, we are able to provide our student-athletes with services and a team atmosphere comparable to a varsity program.

We use our sport to develop more than athleticism; our student-athletes comprise a tight-knit community that supports its members as well as other weightlifting clubs in the area. All of our teammates will attest that UMWL not only made them better athletes but stronger students and members of society as well.

We are seeking $2,000 to cover the expenses incurred through our participation in University Nationals!

We are excited to support our dedicated athletes on their journey to University Nationals in Columbus, Ohio. This exciting opportunity not only showcases the talent and hard work of our team, but also brings national recognition to the outstanding programs at the University of Michigan. However, such an endeavor involves significant expenses, including travel from Ann Arbor, MI, housing accommodations, and athlete registration fees.

By contributing to this fundraiser, you are directly helping to cover these critical costs. Travel expenses encompass gas for the team members who carpool, meals on the road, and local transportation upon arrival in Columbus. Housing for our competitors ensures they have a comfortable and safe place to stay, fostering a restful environment where they can focus and recharge. Finally, the athlete registration fees are essential for securing their participation in the events. Your generous donation will ease the financial burden on our athletes, allowing them to focus entirely on their preparation and performance.

Together, we can support our team and help them achieve their highest potential!
