The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves as the primary source of philanthropic support for Team USA. Founded in 2013, the USOPF generates critical financial resources that help Team USA athletes reach their full potential, both on and off the field of play. One hundred percent of gifts to the foundation go directly to athletes and the high-performance programming that supports them. Unlike most National Olympic Committees, the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee does not receive federal funding for its Olympic programs. Instead, it relies on the generosity of the American public to help U.S. athletes remain competitive with the rest of the world. Our nation stands apart from others because our Olympic and Paralympic Teams are not just cheered by an enthusiastic national fan base, but funded by one. This Team Behind the Team funds important services and initiatives that empower Team USA athletes to reach their full potential, both on and off the field of play. Team USA does more than just represent the United States on sport’s biggest stage: Our athletes inspire all Americans—and the next generation of Team USA. Through their stories of trial and triumph, U.S. athletes show our nation what is possible and exemplify what it means to pursue excellence. The USOPF is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and led by President Christine Walshe. Supporting the USOPF and its staff is the USOPF Board of Directors and Trustees, headed by Chairman Gordon Crawford.

RUDIS was founded in 2013 with a mission to build the best performance footwear and apparel brand in the world, rooted in wrestling. From day one, we’ve been driven by a deep understanding of the athlete. Wrestling is where we started, and it remains our foundation, but our ambition extends far beyond a single sport. We are competitors, creators, and builders. Our team brings a top-tier understanding of performance, mindset, and community, which allows us to design products and experiences that resonate at the highest level of sport. Everything we create is shaped by a deep understanding of what it takes to compete. That perspective shapes everything we do. We design world-class footwear and apparel, build a powerful and authentic brand, create content and storytelling that connects, and deliver through a multi-channel ecosystem that spans direct-to-consumer, team sales, and global partnerships. RUDIS is built differently. Nothing is above the brand. We prioritize authenticity, consistency, and long-term impact over short-term gains. Our roots in wrestling give us an edge. We understand competition at its most personal level and what it takes to perform when it matters most. That same approach guides how we grow, expanding one sport, one community, and one athlete at a time. We are defining the category by giving athletes a competitive edge through innovation, design, and purpose-driven performance. RUDIS is more than a brand. It’s a mindset. It’s a standard. It’s A WAY OF LIFE. Follow us to stay connected across all channels and be part of what’s next. rudis.com instagram.com/the_rudis/ tiktok.com/@rudis_wrestling x.com/the_rudis www.facebook.com/rudiswrestling/
