Northern Arizona University - High Altitude

I have long believed that the Center can play a significant role in helping place Arizona on the world stage, and that it should be viewed as an asset the business community and State should support much more actively.
Chris McMurry - National Advisory Board Member & Annual Donor

Advancement

Certain programs of the Center for High Altitude Training generate revenue for the university, while others are completely service-oriented. The Center relies on the generosity of donors and an aggressive fundraising effort to support a variety of initiatives, from engaging youth in physical activity to preparing elites who can proudly represent the United States in Olympic Sport.

Flagstaff Running Project (PDF Format) Your gift will facilitate optimal training conditions for U.S. athletes by easing the financial demands of everyday life.
Native American Initiatives (PDF Format) Your generosity provides resources allowing Native American runners to train and compete on par with their fellow athletes.
Team Altius (PDF Format) Nothing is better than seeing smiles on the faces of young people who just accomplished something they didn't know they could do.
Center's Greatest Need (PDF Format) Designating your gift to the Center's Greatest Needs allows us to apply your donation with the flexibility to achieve the greatest results.

Your contribution to one of the above initiatives will play an essential role in the athlete development pipeline, providing opportunities from the playground to the podium.
