Charity Spotlight: The Lindsey Vonn Foundation

By: Lindsay Flanagan

Who: Lindsey Vonn

Charity: The Lindsey Vonn Foundation

Why This Charity is Significant:

Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn wants to empower girls all over the world and let them know they can accomplish anything. Vonn started The Lindsey Vonn Foundation in 2015 so she could help girls achieve their dreams. The foundation uses the donations to fund girls camps, inspirational and motivational speaker series and to provide scholarships to girls in need.

Vonn is currently competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics so now would be a prime time to donate to her foundation. She is requesting for donations to be pledged to her foundation during her competition season for every time she is on the podium, including during the Olympics. When Vonn wins on the mountain, girls all over the world will win too thanks to these contributions. Vonn has stated that she is striving to “become the winningest ski racer of all time ” so she is working hard and doing her best to meet her goals in order for the foundation to receive the resources to help girls conquer their individual mountains, too.

How You Can Get Involved:

You can donate to the Lindsay Vonn Foundation right on their website and those proceeds will go toward the various programs and scholarships that the foundation provides and supports. If you want to take the Podium Pledge, visit Vonn’s Pledge It site.
