The 2013 Athletic
Training
Student
Challenge
is
kicking
off now
to offer
college/university
athletic
training
clubs a
unique
opportunity
to
support
the NATA
Foundation
through
fundraising
efforts
to help
our
organization
meet its
goals.
This
year, in
addition
to
raising
money
for the
Annual
Fund,
schools
may
elect to
designate
their
donation
to go
directly
to one
of our NATA
Foundation
research
or
scholarship
endowments.
Not only
will
this
help the
endowment
get
closer
to
completion,
the
student
club
will be
part of
history
by
contributing
to a
research
or
scholarship
that
will be
granted
in
perpetuity.
In
addition
to
recognizing
the top
contributor,
we will
give
three
awards
in 2013
-
First
Place:
Highest
Overall
Contribution
to the
Annual
Fund;
Highest
Overall
Contribution
to an
Endowment
and
Highest
Contribution
from a
First-Time
Participant.

Challenge,

Consider
joining
the Shoe
Box
Society
for
Planned
Giving.
Planned
gifts
take
into
account
a
donor’s
financial,
family,
business
and
estate
considerations.
These
gifts
can take
many
forms.
Planned
giving
techniques
can
significantly
reduce
estate,
income
and gift
taxes,
allowing
donors
to
benefit
the NATA
Foundation
while
realizing
impressive
tax
advantages
for
themselves.
