Send Israel's medal-winning bobsled team to the Olympics!

Adam Edelman is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Advancing Jewish Athletics Inc.

Tax deductible

We're AJ Edelman and Jared Firestone. An Olympic duo piloting the Frozen Chosen Bobsled and Skeleton teams.

The teams are historically good, with the boblsed team ranked 3rd in North America and inside of Olympic qualification standards, and Jared having captured multiple podiums en route to hitting qualification standards as well.

Bobsled and skeleton have 4 primary components for success:

1. Heart, athletic talent, and the ability to stare danger in the face and push through.

2. Driving ability

3. Equipment--similar to F1, bobsled is a vehicle-based sport. Your "car" is one of the primary contributors to results.

4. Resources. The sliding sports are the most expensive Olympic sports. Transporting tons of equipment and supporting 9 athletes is no small feat.

BobTeam Edelman is unique--the least funded team in all of Bobsled, it is comprised of exceptional Israeli talent from the Druze and Jewish community. In 2022 we fell 0.1 seconds short of the Olympics and are in prime position for 2026. Israel has all of the components to make the Olympic games in Milan, and it is indeed a likelihood, but we need help with the equipment and resources.

Jared is an Israeli Winter Sport trailblazer, securing a historic Gold medal amongst many others. He is a former track star from Tulane University and in line to qualify for Milan 2026 given the appropriate resources!

We support the team in its entirety--despite being an Olympic level group, Israel does not provide support until we qualify, and for that we need your help.

We are looking to send 9 athletes (a 4-man bobsled team, male and female skeleton teams, and a female bobsled team) to Milan 2026. We can do this together!

An example of what some of the the funds will be used for:

1. New equipment: $265,000

2. Coaching: $240,000

3. Travel, flights, housing: $230,000

4. Training camps, races, fees: $75,000

5. Car rentals and sled transport: $100,000

6. Pre-Olympic training, physio, offseason, insurance, maintenance and repairs, misc.: $100,000

Let's make history, together!
