PURPOSE
The NATA Research & Education Foundation challenges
all athletic training student groups to compete in raising money for the
Foundation. The purposes of this challenge are to generate funds supporting
research that lead to the best practice of athletic training, and to expose
athletic training students to the world of research and the value of
supporting research.
WHAT
All athletic training student groups at individual
institutions are invited to compete. Initial contact will be made with
program directors, who will issue the challenge to their respective student
leaders. Student groups will then organize and implement fund-raising
campaigns during the academic year. The money raised from this initiative
will go to the unrestricted accounts of the NATA Foundation.
