We just finished our second training cycle of the Summer and it is a little quiet in Ames for a change.
So I want to catch you up on some things.
First, David Carr will be heading to Estonia this month as part of the Men's Freestyle Junior World Team.
David qualified to represent the U.S. after winning competitions this past spring and early summer. He'll be accompanied on the trip by Nate Carr, associate director of the Cyclone Regional Training Center, and by Derek St. John.
Kyven Gadson, meanwhile, will compete in the Alexander Medved International tournament in Belarus early this month.
We also want to bring you up-to-date on the success of our new 2019 fundraising campaign: The C-RTC Tree.
Thanks to all of our supporters and fans -- like you -- we have increased the number of donors to 315 from 36 when our campaign first began. Every day we add more donors. So far, we have raised a total of nearly $455,000 toward our goal.
The text-a-thon that our coaches and athletes held in Ames last month was a HUGE part of this fundraising success. It brought in $150,000 -- and we had a lot of fun doing it.
We want to extend a big THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far. The money we've raised will go toward supporting the efforts of our entire program.
Please NOTE that it is not too late to get on our C-RTC Tree. You can check out a video explaining that here.
And you can donate by going here.
Also coming up this month:
August 16th @ 5 p.m. -- Social at the Humboldt County Fairgrounds. The Humboldt organizing committee does these parties right so please join us for what is sure to be a great evening. You can go here to read more about it and to register.
August 21 @ 6 p.m. -- C-RTC Olympic House Happy Hour. We want to THANK all of the local contractors and others who have helped make our new C-RTC Olympic house in Ames a reality. Come out to Cellar 626 (behind Cyclone Liquors in Ames) for a beverage and some snacks on us.
August 26 @ Noon -- 2nd Annual C-RTC Golf Event. At Glen Oaks Country Club in W. Des Moines. This is a great day of golf, plus an amazing dinner and fun program. You can sign up for the golf event by going here.
Thanks and we hope to see you this month.
