As Winter Olympic athletes, many of us are not professionals and because our sports are relatively small on a national scale, we usually don't draw big name sponsors and have a hard enough time getting any sponsors at all. Bobsled is a very expensive sport, for example, when I go next week to Park City, Utah, to start driving, it will all be on my own dime- especially cause I currently have no sponsorship contracts. In order to help me raise funds to cover these expenses, I will be selling beanies or touques or hats or whatever you want to call them on ebay. The headwear will also be autographed personally by me, for each buyer. Hopefully by various fundraisers and working multiple jobs this summer I will be able to fund everything I need on tour next season. Being a bobsledder often costs more than you'll ever have the opportunity to make, but I love what I'm doing so I'm going to do whatever I can to keep doing it- including work multiple jobs and fundraise like crazy. This one is the first of many- so buy your hats now!!! Here is where you can purchase them on ebay:
