Why Support USA
LUGE?
The
organization does not receive funding
from the federal government, unlike the
teams they race against in major
international competitions. Who supports
the U.S. Luge Team? Americans, just like
you. The team recently lost a major
sponsorship amounting to nearly 40% of
their entire budget due to a shift in
the sponsor’s marketing strategy. They
need your help and urge you to take part
in the North American Toboggan
Championships! All proceeds will go to
support the athletes and programs of USA
Luge.

Support USA LUGE?
You can
