Athletics: USATF Foundation offers VIP Travel Package for London 2012

INDIANAPOLIS - Space is filling up quickly, so hurry up and book your trip NOW to London 2012.

This trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for track and field fans to get an inside look at Team USA at the biggest meet in the world while supporting their favorite athletes in the process.

Couples can sign up for a 2012 London Games VIP Travel Package that will provide an "inner circle" look at the Games. Hosted by 1976 Olympic decathlon gold medalist and USATF Foundation Director Bruce Jenner, fans will be able to mingle with Foundation Directors such as Jenner, Olympian and former world record holder in the men's triple jump Willie Banks, NASDAQ CEO and Foundation Chair Bob Greifeld and noted film producer Frank Marshall.

Six-night travel packages include tickets to track and field events, opportunities to meet U.S. athletes, official Team USA gear, accommodations at a 5-star Central London hotel, a personal on-site London concierge and local tour and excursion opportunities.

Cost per couple is a donation of $30,000 to the USATF Foundation, whose programs support all levels of the sport, including developing Team USA athletes. Recent USATF Foundation Elite Athlete Development Grant winners who went on to the Olympic medal podium include 2008 Olympic gold medalist in the women's discus Stephanie Brown Trafton and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in the 110m hurdles David Oliver.

The first six-night wave for the tour is August 1-7, 2012, with wave two August 7-14. Cost to travel with both waves is a $50,000. A portion of the donation may be tax-deductible; consult with your tax advisor.
