Catalyst Athletics is a USA Weightlifting National Championship team with multiple national champions, American Open champions, international team members, and senior and masters American record holders.

The Catalyst Athletics Weightlifting Association (CWA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that fosters the development of US weightlifting talent and athletes. There are many very talented weightlifters in the United States of America. Unfortunately, these athletes are not as strongly supported as their counterparts are in other countries. Hence, the US typically places behind other nations in international and Olympic events. Many athletes can simply not focus on their training enough to achieve maximum performance due to the need to make a living outside the sport of weightlifting.

CWA is a charitable organization that uses your tax-deductible donations to support talented weightlifters to pursue their passion and to represent the US internationally.

Donate

It costs about $20,000 - $25,000 per year to provide an athlete with basic needs like housing, food, and medical insurance. Any donation you can make, whether a one-time payment or an annually repeating contribution, is welcomed gratefully by the team and will be used for the athletes. All donations are tax deductible.
