Support the US Women's Kayak Polo team for the 2025 Season

We are a group of 8 women representing the USA as the Women's Kayak Polo National Team. We will be competing in the upcoming 2025 Pan-American Kayak Polo Championships that are taking place in Edmonton, Canada, this coming August 23-24.

Kayak Polo (or Canoe Polo) is a young sport in the USA. It's an extremely challenging, exciting and fun game to play and watch. Part of the challenge for this sport in the US is the initial expense for training, gear and equipment, as well as transportation to play with other clubs (there are less than 10 clubs across the country). The US women's team is spread out throughout the country, and there are additional costs to train together enough to compete as a cohesive team in the upcoming international tournaments.

Funds will be distributed equally between all 8 players to help with training, team registration, airfare, accommodation and gear transportation. It costs roughly $2.5k per player to participate (travel costs for training camps $500-1000, airfare to Canada $400-600, registration & accommodation $500, gear transfer $400).

Team members are:

Heather Fenske

Olly Gotel

Al Kolenda

Madeline (Maddie) Lee

Myrna Lewis

Chloe Olson

Hannah Spellman

Tarika (Pin) Thienapirak

Our team is entirely self-funded and managed--any help and support you can give us will be greatly appreciated! Our goal is to have funds by August 15th.
