“Dave Geaslen and 3STEP Sports really stepped up,” said Simon Hoskins, the Executive Director of USA Field Hockey. “We can’t thank you enough, because we know this amazing gift will help us grow as an organisation and help the sport grow in the U.S.”

The goal of the USA Field Hockey Foundation’s “100 for 100” campaign was to raise $100,000 to help the organisation grow and improve. Many members, families, and friends of the organisation gave money to get the campaign started, and an anonymous donor gave the same amount, $50,000. The Foundation was able to reach its goal twice as fast because of the donation from 3STEP.

“On behalf of the USA Field Hockey Foundation and our Trustees, I want to thank 3STEP Sports from the bottom of my heart for their amazing gift,” said Pam Stuper, the Executive Director of the USA Field Hockey Foundation. “Their very generous donation will have a big effect on our coach, umpire, and youth development programmes over the next few years.”

3STEP Sports is the leader in youth field hockey. Throughout the year, they run the College Connection, Shooting Star, and Elite Field Hockey Camps.

Ainslee Lamb, Vice President of 3STEP Field Hockey, said, “3STEP Sports is thrilled to have this chance to support the USA Field Hockey Foundation and its big goals for the sport.” “We are committed to promoting and supporting coach development, umpire development, and opportunities for young people. As a company that manages events and clubs, our forum lets us make changes in both areas separately. When added to the money we gave to USA Field Hockey, we know it can and will help ensure that field hockey will be around for a long time.

Pam Hixon, President of 3STEP Field Hockey, said, “As a member of the 3STEP family, a current Foundation Board member, former Chair of the Board of Directors, and Olympic/World Cup Coach, I am energised by the vision of 3STEP’s contribution to creating more opportunities for youth and developing umpires and coaches.”
