COUNTDOWN ROAD TO 

Since its start in 1924, every four years, the World's best Deaf Athletes perform in a Country hosting the event.

Support Sevan’s Journey to the Deaflympics in Tokyo! By donating today, you can help send Sevan, a talented track and field athlete, to represent the USA at the XXV Summer Deaflympics in Tokyo, Japan, this coming November 2025. 

Sevan has earned a spot on the USA Deaf Track & Field Team and will compete in the 1500-meter and 5000-meter events—a major opportunity to race against the best Deaf athletes from around the world. 

Did You Know? The Deaflympics have been held since 1924, making this year the 100th anniversary of this historic event! 

Sevan recently competed in the 2024 World Deaf Athletics Championships in Taiwan and is now ready to take the next step on the global stage. 

But Sevan needs your help. The cost for travel, lodging, meals, insurance, and more totals $7,500. Unlike other national teams, USA Deaf Track & Field receives no government or major sponsor funding—we rely on supporters like you to make this dream a reality. Sevan trains daily with discipline and passion. 

Your donation—no matter the amount—will help him focus fully on preparing for Tokyo, knowing his financial needs are covered. 

Bonus: Since our organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your donation is tax-deductible! 

Please consider supporting Sevan and his teammates. Every dollar brings him one step closer to representing the USA on the world stage. 

Thank you for believing in Sevan and supporting Deaf athletes!
