Friends --

 

We ask you to join us in supporting the athletes who are pursuing Gold Medals in Curling at the Olympic Winter Games for the United States.

 

The DarwinCooper Fund provides annual financial assistance to teams who show promise and potential to represent the USA on the world stage, specifically focusing on Olympics. Our results in this past year have been remarkable (see box below).

​​

Each team we sponsor is made up of two to five athletes who train and compete year-round, both on the ice and in the gym. Though some receive funding from the USOPC, the athletes and their families cover nearly all of their expenses themselves. They include travel, housing, meals, entry fees, and coaching, which can run up to $15,000 - $20,000 annually per athlete. There are few “professionals” in the sport.

 

The DarwinCooper Fund granted almost $25,000 in 2025 to support these teams, demonstrating our commitment to the sport.  We'd like to continue to do this, but cannot grow without the help of others.

 

To do that we need your help. 

 

Would you consider a tax deductible donation of $500 to $2,500 to the DarwinCooper Fund to help support the dreams of these athletes? Every cent of your support will go to the athletes and their teams to help make their aspirations a reality.

 

The athletes DarwinCooper supports are some of the best in the world at what they do. Your support will help them grow through experience and opportunities only possible with sufficient funding. We appreciate your consideration and support.

​

Darwin and Cooper.
