Support & Sponsorship
Your support gives rural athletes the tools they need to fly — literally.
Why Your Support Matters
Pole vault is an expensive event. A single competition-grade fiberglass pole costs ₹40,000–₹80,000. Athletes need multiple poles at different flex ratings as they progress. For a rural student from a farming family, this is simply impossible.
Don's Pole Vault Academy removes that barrier — but only with the generous support of sponsors. Every pole donated, every camp funded, every year of support means one more rural child gets a shot at the national stage.
Our athletes have already proven what they can do when given the right tools. Gerard Mark Wilcox won a Silver Medal at the Deaf Olympics. S. Siva became a National Champion in Warangal. With your support, the next champion is already training at Nehru Stadium.
A Pole Changes Everything
One donated pole can be used by multiple athletes across hundreds of training sessions and competitions. It is the single most impactful equipment gift.
Fund the Ooty Camp
Camp sponsorship covers travel, accommodation, and logistics for the entire squad — sending athletes to the Nilgiris for altitude training that builds national-level endurance.
Sponsor a Full Athlete
Full athlete sponsorship covers everything for an entire year — accommodation, equipment, competition fees, and camp. Sponsor one rural student's entire journey.
Brand Visibility
Corporate sponsors receive acknowledgement on Academy communication, social media, and competition coverage — demonstrating social responsibility to customers and partners.
