The Foundation for Global Sports Development Annual Report 2013 - 14

Dear Friends,
As GSD looks forward to another year of successful
collaborations and opportunities to support inspiring charitable
organizations around the world, I am excited to share with you
the accomplishments and outcomes of the past year.
2013 was truly a transformational year for GSD. A few highlights
include welcoming two new Olympians, Esther Lofgren and
Angela Ruggiero, to our family of Champion Ambassadors,
launching our redesigned website, and entering into
compelling collaborations and partnerships.
We are dedicated to remaining true to our mission of supporting youth around the
world, and I am thrilled to report our ability to commit over $2.5 million in charitable
grants last year. For me, nothing is more gratifying than witnessing the long-term
impact these gifts have had on the programs and youth who receive them.
As I reflect on 2013, a pivotal moment was finalizing our multi-year collaboration with
the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). Together, we will initiate the
development and launch of a transformative and much needed Athlete Career
Development Program. Giving back to the athletes who work tirelessly to inspire and
influence youth is incredibly important.
2013 was a monumental year for GSD and we hope you continue with us as we extend
the reach of our programs, and strive to impact the lives of more youth in 2014. We are
excited for the New Year and all the amazing things to come.
Best regards,

David Ulich
Executive Board Member
