Thanks again to everyone for your kind support.
My mom says that she feels very fortunate to know such nice people who were willing to part of this.
I guess I am feeling that way too - mom has such good friends.
For those of you who I have met, thank you again and for those of you who I have not - thank you and I hope to meet you some day and hopefully I will get to say thanks to everyone in person!
Hana Tabit
Hello, my name is Hana Tabit and I am a young archer with high hopes for the Olympics.
My dream all began in 2010 when I went to watch a local USAT qualifier. Like any other kid, I grew up playing with a toy bow in the back yard, and now here I was seeing the real thing. It grabbed my attention. I immediately signed up for a beginner’s JOAD class at Reedy’s Archery.
When it became clear to my family that this was more than a hobby, I began competing in local tournaments and got new equipment. I joined the team and participated in the Regional Indoor Nationals, where I placed second. I later joined Excalibur Archers, a team for the dedicated shooter with their sights set on the Olympics. I remained on this team and accomplished much until it was dissolved. I then joined the Hall’s Arrow All-Stars team, which I still shoot for today.
The friends I have made through his sport are the best in the world; they are kind, reasonable, and have unrivaled intelligence. I have made, and will continue to make many sacrifices for this sport, and now I ask that you please help me achieve my next goal.
The purpose of this rally is to help me attain enough funding to attend the Texas Shootout this year in September.
Attending this tournament is the first most crucial step in becoming part of the US Olympic Archery Team. It is the first of three US Olympic Trials. Participation in this event will move me forward in my campaign for the Olympics.

Hey its me, Hana
Thnak you to all of you who have helped me for the Olympic trials. I shot next to soe of the most talented people in the world! I may not have mad the cut this time but I plan to try again in 4 more years because I want to represent this great country in t the sport I love.
With out your help I would not have been able to get the experience of shooting in the trials. It was really an amazing experience. We had all kids of weather in just the span of 10 hours - sun, wind, rain, mud. That is what outdoor shooting is all about - under all outdoor circumstances.
Thank you from me and of course my familiy for being there to help even thought I have not met some of you, it really means a lot to me that you were able to lend a hand.
