Coach Willy Moers

ROAD TO WORLD DEAF ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIP

The USA Deaf Track and Field (USADTF) organization is very excited to announce that we will take part in the prestigious 2024 World Deaf Athletics Championships, which now includes an exciting addition of the Deaf Youth World Athletics Championships in Taipei, Taiwan. 

We are anticipating an elite team of 30 - 40 athletes from all over the US to come together to compete against top athletes from across the globe.

USADTF is seeking financial support for its national team. Unlike our counterparts (US hearing track & field organizations), we do not receive any financial support from our government or big sponsors that the US Olympic & Paralympic Committees enjoy.  We depend on donations from individuals and organizations for funding.  

Coach Willy Moers is a former international athlete who participated in the Discus, Shot Put, and Hammer Throw events in six Deaflympics competitions, which parallels the Olympics in taking place every four years, from 1981 to 2001. During the 20-year competitive course, Willy established the Deaflympics record in the Hammer throw event on three separate occasions.  He now wishes to translate that experience into coaching Deaf athletes in these throwing events at competitions throughout the globe. They deserve no less.

Each coach will need to raise funds to cover expenses such as apparel, hotel and meals, fees, insurance, per diem, and supplies, airfare from their hometown and so forth.  They need help with fundraising. What YOU can do is DONATE! Dig deep in your pocket and support Coach Willy and his team.

Your generous donation will allow our American athletes to focus on preparing for competition against top-notch international athletes. Again, by donating, you are making traveling to Taipei, Taiwan a reality for Willy and his athletes! They CANNOT do it WITHOUT YOUR HELP! 

GOOD NEWS! Because USADTF is a 501(c)3 organization, your contribution can be used a tax write-off.
