Anthony Ervin’s World Cup Tour Brought to you by Athlete Approved and PacePal

On behalf of Athlete Approved and PacePal, we would like to thank all of the matching contributors that helped us raise a total of $2,000 for Anthony Ervin’s World Cup Tour 2012! The generosity of the contributors will help fund Anthony’s dreams to compete in the World Cup.

At the Dubai World Cup Anthony placed 1st in the 50m Freestyle (with a lifetime best time of 21.07 in the Heats) as well as putting up another best time to place 2nd in the Finals of the 100m Freestyle (47.04). He will continue to the next stops in Doha, Stockholm, Moscow, Berlin, Beijing, Tokyo, and Singapore.

Please continue to support Olympic and elite level athletes! If you would still like to contribute, Anthony will donate half of anything extra made to Mamade, whose “Water to the Thirsty” project is providing clean water to those in the world who need it most.
