The California Weightlifting Fund is a non-profit corporation with the goal of supporting, encouraging and promoting the sport of Olympic Weightlifting. We encourage lifters by funding and hosting regional and national competitions, training coaches, recruiting and training novice athletes, and funding travel expenses to help athletes compete on the national and international level.

We are particularly focused on recruiting, training and development of young athletes ranging from beginners to international competitors. We believe that a wide range of youth from 12 to 25 years old can benefit from weightlifting whether they lift only for fun or grow to compete at the national or international level.

Your help is essential. We are seeking donations, corporate and personal sponsorships, and volunteers. These events help us promote weightlifting as a great fitness program and attract new kids… even if it is just to try it out.

Help us start kids on a path with healthy habits. Help us prepare kids for a lifetime of fitness.
