Over 30 of the top athletes in the Capital Region have qualified for the AAU Junior Olympic National Championship Track meet being held in Greensboro, North Carolina at the end of July. The qualifying athletes and their schools are listed below.  The cost of travel, accommodations, meals, etc… quickly add up.   As members of the Sky’s the Limit track these athletes have been fundraising, with raffles, car washes, bottle collections, popcorn fundraisers and can shaking at local concerts.  However, we are still short of our goal.  By donating you are helping these athletes have the opportunity to compete with some of the best in the country.  By donating through this Zeffy website, the athletes receive the entire donation as Zeffy does not take fees from the donation.  However, there is an option to donate to Zeffy with a suggested percentage, simply click the percentage and you can change it to anything you want, even zero. Sky’s the Limit is a registered AAU and USATF club that has been providing opportunities for local athletes to train and compete for over a decade.  For those who wish to report their donation on their taxes, our Tax ID # (EIN) is 46-2638496 and you will receive a receipt for your donation.   Every little bit helps and we are grateful in advance for anything you can do to support us.  If you wish to donate a larger amount then what is listed, you simply click the quantity box and type in a number.   For example, you want to donate $500, simply select the $100 donation and in the quantity box enter the number 5.  Sharing this on your social media, through email and word of mouth will also be extremely helpful.   Thank you again.

Please follow us on Facebook - Sky's the Limit Track and/or Instagram @skysthelimittc to see how we progress and perform.   

Thank you for your time and your support.
