UCLA Powerlifting

UPDATE‼️: Our mission still stands, but our original six has turned to seven with the addition of our Kansas boy Sky Rong! UCLAPL needs your support even more than it did before. We already have received $360 within our 1.5 days of launch and we couldn’t be more thankful. Let’s keep the momentum going for our mighty Bruins!!!

Hi everyone! Our Crowdfunding Campaign is officially live!! UCLA Powerlifting is a completely student-run club sport on campus whose athletes fully fund their own meet registrations, travel expenses, lodging, etc. Collegiate Nationals is our biggest meet of the year, and this time around we’ll be spending it in New Orleans! Please consider taking a look at our Crowdfunding Campaign in our bio. Thank you for your continued support!!🐻💪🏽
