Every lift tells a story — of strength, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.

Through the Every Lift Matters campaign, the USA Weightlifting Foundation is rallying support to fuel the athletes who represent our nation on the world stage. Your donation helps provide the resources, training, and support they need as they prepare for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

From first-time lifters to record-breaking champions, every athlete’s journey is made possible by people who believe in their potential and share in their pursuit of greatness.

Join us in reaching our $30,000 goal and help lift Team USA higher than ever before.

Because every rep counts. Every dream matters. And Every Lift Matters.

Gunnar Getaway

From December 4–18, the first 50 donors who give $250 or more will become eligible for the Gunnar Getaway — an exclusive experience with legendary strength coach Gunnar Peterson. Additional details will be shared directly with those 50 supporters once the window closes.

What is the Gunnar Getaway?

One qualifying participant will receive an unforgettable package:

Round-trip airfare from your closest major airport to Nashville, TN
Two-night stay in Nashville, TN
Two private training sessions with Gunnar Peterson at his legendary gym

Why this matters

Your support through Every Lift Matters helps fuel Team USA weightlifters at every level, from youth lifters discovering their potential to elite athletes preparing for international competition. This campaign powers training access, coaching resources, and the foundation our athletes need to rise.

How to qualify

Starting December 4, be one of only 50 people to make a $250 donation and become eligible for the Gunnar Getaway. Once the 50 opportunities are filled, qualification will close.
