Only 31 days left to help Winnipeg athlete, Nadya Crossman-Serb, continue on her journey to Tokyo 2020

View All News

Canadian Sport Centre Manitoba – A month from now, one of Canada’s best canoeists could have her Olympic journey cut short.

Winnipeg’s Nadya Crossman-Serb started on the high performance pathway two years ago, and her likelihood of qualifying for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is very high. Just 20 years old, Nadya has proved she can contend with the best senior athletes in the world. At her first ever Senior World Cup last year, she brought home a gold medal in the C2 event alongside partner Katie Vincent. Though her skill and athleticism has her destined for Olympic greatness, Nadya’s dreams of competing in the inaugural Olympic Women’s Canoe event could end prematurely.

Like many of our athletes, Nadya’s limitation is a financial one.

Early in 2017, Nadya was told she would have to fundraise $7,000 to pay back costs she incurred in training and international competition last year. Should she fail to secure this funding, Nadya will not be able to compete at this year’s National Team trials. If she doesn’t compete in the trials, she will not be able to compete for Team Canada this year.

We at the Canadian Sport Centre Manitoba have been helping Nadya to promote her fundraising campaign since the beginning of March. Even so, Nadya has only 31 days left to raise $4,754 before her May 7th deadline. Your help in spreading the word about Nadya’s situation and need would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully, this will assist her in meeting her goal and thereby able to compete in this year’s National Team trials. 

Visit Nadya’s Make-A-Champ crowd-funding page which includes her story, great photos and a link to support her cause.
From all of us at the Canadian Sport Centre Manitoba,

Thank you.
