What:
4000 American Nordic enthusiasts backing their nation's developing skiers on a single day.
 
When:
November 15th, 2011
 
How:
There are two ways to be involved:

1. The most impactful involvement is to become a Drive for 25 Ambassador and get at least ten of your friends to agree to donate on November 15th. 

Send the email addresses of your friends to us and we will remind them:

2. Or donate $25 on November 15 to the Cross-Country Page or the Nordic Combined Page

Why:
U.S. Nordic skiing is in financial trouble.  While we have improved from a nation that seldom put a single skier in the top 15 on the World Cup to a nation with World Cup and World Championship podiums we are currently operating at a budget of less than a tenth of our toughest competitors.  And more importantly budget shortfalls are making it impossible for our younger developing athletes to afford the racing opportunities they require to compete among the best. This challenge offers the Nordic community a chance to pull together and support tomorrow's star today in a community wide effort. 
 
Who: You!
 
NNF, the National Nordic Foundation is stepping up to fill these budget short falls.

The NNF depends on you.
