Hello all,

I hope your week is going well so far. Recently, I was selected to represent myself along with the Midwest Zone at this year's USA Water Polo ODP Pipeline event, NTSC (National Team Selection Camp). This is a prestigious and important step in my water polo career. Within this, I will be given the opportunity to continue my journey on 1 of 3 teams (if selected to continue on). But in order to get to that point, a part of my selection includes fundraising on behalf of USA Water Polo. 

Unfortunately, USA Water Polo athlete pipeline's do not receive any government funding or support by the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC). Due to this, USA Water Polo requires me to fundraise a minimum amount of $1,475 in order to directly support the following:

\* Athlete training and development

\* National Team and preparation

\* Next generation access opportunities

\* The road to the LA28 Olympic Games

If direct donations are not for you, sharing and spreading the word is just as appreciated. The deadline to reach my goal is April 28th, 2026. Thank you so much for all your help, anything and everything is much appreciated. 

How to make a Donation:

2026 Athlete Fundraising Campaign

1) After following the link, click the "Donate to an Athlete" button.

2) Select your preferred donation amount.

3) Click the button reading "Choose your Athlete" and select “Tatiana Haynes”.

4) You will receive two options:

\- To leave a note of encouragement.

And/Or

\- To cover the $2 processing fee so the full donation goes directly to my program.

5) Finally, select your preferred method of payment. 

Again, thank you so much for your help, anything helps me towards my goal of representing Team USA one day!
