U.S Paragliding Team

[sbflyguy]

I just got this email and wanted to pass it on in case others out there didn't get it. I'm going to donate a few bucks to help out and hope others in the Santa Barbara flying community can as well.

Thanks, Ben Haug



Please Help Support The U. S. Paragliding Team!

U. S. Paragliding Team, a Nevada Non-Profit Corporation, has been set up under the rules of IRS 501 ( c ) 3 to help subsidize the expenses of the U. S. Paragliding Team’s participation in the World Paragliding Championships which are held every two years at various locations all over the planet. On February 24 through March 9, 2007, the World Paragliding Championships will be held in Manilla, Australia: http://www.manilla2007.com

This year’s U. S. Paragliding Team includes Josh Cohn, Thomas McCune, Kari Castle and Bill Belcourt. These pilots have worked extremely hard to earn their position on the U. S. Paragliding Team. It is now our job to help them in their quest to represent the United States of America in this World arena!

This event is two weeks long. Besides being mentally and physically demanding, it also demands a substantial financial commitment. This is going to be an expensive proposition for this year’s team. The estimated cost for our U. S. Team to participate in this year's World Championships is $14,000.00. It is up to us to help lighten the burden for our team and for all U. S. Paragliding Teams to come. Please show some pride in our country and in our team by making a donation to this Non-Profit Corporation.

We have raised approximately $4,000.00 as of January 2, 2007. We are now asking the paragliding community to step up and show their support for "OUR TEAM". We kindly ask you to visit our web-site and become a supporting crew member of the U. S. Paragliding Team. It is up to us to make this happen. Please visit our web-site and make a secure online donation today. Go to: http://www.usparaglidingteam.org

U. S. Paragliding Team, a Nevada Non-Profit Corporation, is hoping that all United States Paragliding pilots will take pride in their team and donate money to the Non-Profit Corporation. Donations in any amount are welcome and appreciated.
