Hi guys and gals,

As some of you may have seen from Facebook and other social media, the Indian U23 team has a crowdfunding campaign going to raise funds and/or sponsorship for their trip to the World Championships in July this year.

Please help them make it! From emails I've exchanged with their head coach Dan Rule their primary concern is still funding for players to make it to London.

Link to their crowdfunding campaign: http://www.ketto.org/indiaU23
And the link to their facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/indianu23mixedteam?fref=ts

Just so everyone can grasp what a big deal this is: unlike in North America or Europe, India has no college teams and regional leagues are at the most 4 years old for Ultimate. In a country where cricket is the ONLY sport kids play they are finding a sport that they can play with very little investment and without cultural or social divides. It is mainly volunteer based and all the awesome people back home introducing Ultimate to kids are using it as a means to show them that they can be part of something more than they ever imagined!
I hope we can make a difference.

Also, can an email be sent out on the AAUltimate announcements list serve with this information? Ryan?

Thanks,
Vimal
