Our NSW SOPA Archery champions Giorgio Vasiliades, Mitchell Campbell, Branden Tse and Marcus Yiu have been selected as part of the Archery Australia team to represent Australia at the Youth World Championships which will be held in Ireland this July.

To be able to compete at the world level, these young archers train on average 4hrs a day 5-7 days a week. As full-time students this is on top of their own study and personal commitments.

The financial commitment for each archer is $7,500 to attend this event plus any additional costs associated to equipment, training and preparations. With only 2 months to prepare, this does create financial stress for each of these archers and the families.

We are hoping to raise $15,000 which will cover only 50% the cost to compete in the event. Your contribution will allow these archers to prioritise focus on both their education and training to allow them to be at their peak for the competition without the financial and education stress.

Your contribution and support is greatly appreciated, please also share with friends and colleagues to do the same.

With thanks,

SOPA youth committee
