USA DEAF SWIMMING. 🇺🇸 🤟



Hi everyone! My name is Quinn. I’m 13 years old, and I was born deaf. Thanks to my cochlear implants and a lot of hard work, I’m thriving in and out of the water. 🏊‍♀️

I’m so proud to share that I’ve been selected as the youngest member of Team USA’s swim team — just 13 of us total — representing our country at the Deaflympics in Tokyo this November 🇺🇸✨

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but our team receives very little funding. That’s why I’m reaching out to friends and family for support. To make your tax deductible gifts go even further, my parents have promised to match the first $10,000 I raise. That means every dollar you give will be doubled — turning $50 into $100, $250 into $500, and so on — to help me and my teammates train, travel, and compete on the world stage.

Thank you so much for being part of this incredible journey and helping me chase this dream. I can’t wait to make you proud in Tokyo!  💙

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE US TO BENEFIT FROM YOUR DONATION?

Please let me know what you'd like for us on your donation form.  Here are some of my wants for the Team:

  • Team Celebration Dinner: We'll enjoy a traditional Japanese dinner on our last night in Tokyo. You can  make that experience extra special.
  • Deaflympic Medal Display Cases. Give us a way to display our medals, photos and memories that is fitting of our achievements and lets us tell our stories.
  • Team Tokyo Tour.  We only have 1 day to tour Tokyo before we board our flight home and we need to make the most of it. There are so many great options! I want to do the street Go Karts and experience the culture!
  • Spectator Giveaways. The Tokyo Aquatics Centre holds 1,500 spectators, and many of them will be children. Enable us to share a Team USA Deaf Swimming token of appreciation with them as we pose for pictures and create smiles and memories.
  • Tokyo Spa Recovery Therapy. After 5 grueling days in the pool our bodies and minds will need to recover.  What better way than a Japanese spa!
  • Deaflympic Souvenirs for the Team. We can't go home without a Deaflympic souvenir. You can help us find the perfect thing to commemorate our experience.
  • Athlete Grants. Team USA athletes pay over $6,000 each to represent the USA at the Deaflympics. Your donations will allow us to defray that costs for those in need.
  • Something else? Here's your chance to tell us what would be most meaningful to you. Afterall, your donation makes you part of the Team!  Go USA!!!!  :)
  • All of the above!!!  Of course, you can enable us to do it all.  :)
