Help support a USA luge high schooler

Sweat & Support our 2034 Olympic hopeful! Meet Brynn Davison. She’s 14, a local area high school freshman, and currently ranked 3rd in the country in the Juniors division in USA Luge! 

Brynn, daughter of our founding member, @heatherdavison, is chasing a dream that leads straight to the 2034 Winter Olympics, but the path to the podium is a climb. 

USA Luge is a self-funded journey and she is in need of support annually to cover training, equipment, and travel to Lake Placid.

We’re turning our sweat into support! 

Join us for a FREE community workout for Brynn:
