Our Crowdfunding Groups
Longhorn Powerlifting was established in the 1980s and has maintained its presence at the University of Texas to this day. A competitive sports club under the division of Recreational Sports, Longhorn Powerlifting (LPL) competes at local and national level competitions through the USA Powerlifting federation (USAPL). With no recognition by the NCAA, university powerlifting clubs such as Longhorn Powerlifting must depend upon our own efforts to fund items such as travel, entry fees, and equipment. Our team’s annual competitions are the Collegiate Cup in San Antonio in the fall semester, the Aggie Showdown in College Station in early spring, and Collegiate Nationals hosted in various locations. Collegiate Nationals 2020 has been canceled due to COVID-19 and we were unable to refund all of the travel expenses. Unfortunately, due to travel bans from our sponsor, RecSports, we are not able to attend Collegiate Nationals 2021. Therefore, our goal this year is to raise money towards purchasing competition-grade equipment to replicate the atmosphere of training conditions of those at a USAPL meet. These gifts would help acclimate our team members to competition standards when the global health climate permits us to compete as a team again.
Longhorn Powerlifting and its members are thankful for any amount of support and generosity you are willing to provide.
