Please Support University of Texas Longhorn Olympic Weightlifting!

Longhorn Nation:

Here at the University of Texas at Austin, a group of highly motivated, proud Longhorns are seeking to start an official University of Texas Longhorn Olympic Weightlifting Team that will compete for championships, nationally, internationally, and at the Olympics. 

UT has produced Olympians in Track and Field, Swimming and Diving, and has sent an astonishing number of first-class Longhorns into professional sports competition, world-wide. There is simply no earthly reason that the University of Texas at Austin should not DOMINATE Olympic Weightlifting. 

A donation would be greatly appreciated as it would help provide UT with the requisite resources to fund and support a Longhorn Olympic Weightlifting Team that would be sure to obliterate competition, across the United States of America. 

Support your 'Horns. Hook 'EM!

ALL Donations Fund:

-Coaching
-Equipment
-Travel Expenses
-Competition Entry Fees
-International Weightlifting Federation Membership
-USA Weightlifting Membership
-National Weightlifting Domination

This is a great cause to support.

David I own an Oly gym/Crossfit gym just outside of Miami FL. I would love to help.  I have wondered from time to time why oly lifting wasnt as big there as it is here. I first learned about it in a small town outside of DFW (Granbury). #hookem

David, your gofundme account says that donations are complete. It will not allow me to donate.

Thank you all so much for the support. Instead of using GoFundMe, The University of Texas Longhorn Weightlifting Team will be using HornRaiser to raise money, which is UT's new platform for funding all student efforts that need support from Longhorns worldwide. As of tonight, we have received enough support for now in order to move on without asking for too much from UT supporters and loyalists. For now, we are focused on organization and over all legitimacy. Longhorn Nation is a true, real and incredible thing. Please be on the lookout for Longhorns lifting big weights in the future. My contact info is above in case anyone has any questions. Thank you!
