The United States Deaf Women’s National Soccer Team (USDWNT)
The Deaflympics is an organization dedicated to providing the competitive experience and opportunity of olympic athletic competition to soccer players across the country who suffer from a severe hearing loss of more than 55 decibels. . The games themselves are a place where deaf athletes can prove they are more than what people believe them to be. They give deaf people the platform to reduce the misconceptions around being deaf and break barriers of inclusion.
Players selected for the USDWNT must fund the majority portion of their travel and expenses for the Deaflympics.
Help our friend, Taegan, raise money to be able to be involved with this team.
