Family and Friends! As you know, I love playing water polo and am so lucky to have been blessed with a family that has supported my passion. Based on the opportunities I have been given and my hard work, I am excited to share that I was recently selected to participate in this year's 2025 Pipeline Training International Training Program in Serbia as a member of the Olympic Development Program (ODP) this upcoming August. This selection is a great honor, as USA Water Polo has identified me as one of the top water polo athletes in the nation for my age group. Attending the 2025 Pipeline Training International Training Program is a rare opportunity for me to compete alongside elite athletes, to learn from top coaches from across the country, as well as to test my skills against athletes from around the world. Ahead of attending the 2025 Pipeline Training International Training Program, I am required to raise a minimum of $4,750 so that I may take part in this experience. Your tax-deductible donation will not only support me, but will also benefit the overall Olympic Development Program. USA Water Polo receives no government funding or funding from the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee. This program is only possible with donor support. I humbly request your support as I embark on this pivotal stage of my Olympic journey. All forms of love and encouragement are deeply appreciated. Sincerely, James T. McRae (Future Olympian) USA Water Polo 6 Morgan Suite 150 Irvine, CA 92618
