Fans urged to support US Olympic skiers via text message
Monday, Mar 01, 2010 Filed Under :Planet Talk Card News
News brought to you by Planet Talk - the best rates for calling abroad from the UK.
Fans of the US ski and snowboarding teams can now pledge their support for athletes at this year's Winter Olympics in Vancouver using text messages.
As an alternative to cheap international calls, mobile phone owners can opt to take part in the grassroots fundraising programme run by GreatestFan.com.
The service enables fans to contribute $10 to the US Ski and Snowboard Team Foundation.
Greatest Fan founding partner Hassan Pinto said: "Viral texting donations are the perfect tool for the social networking Twitter and Facebook generation to feel personally vested in helping aspiring young athletes.
"After all, text is instantaneous, and the amount you are sending, $10, is minimal - yet it makes a difference."
Chief executive of the team Bill Marolt said that the scheme allows Americans to show the "true spirit of Olympism".
US slalom skier Bode Miller crashed out of the Olympics this weekend, falling after five gates and less than ten seconds in the race.
