Dear NB3,

As we celebrate another wonderful holiday season, we are reflecting on what a momentous year of growth 2024 was for the Notah Begay III (NB3) Foundation. With your generous support, we continued to create positive change for Native youth through our programs.  

Looking ahead to the new year, we are excited to continue to provide programs for Native youth to be healthy and active. At the NB3 Foundation, we create spaces for Native youth to grow into healthy and active individuals. Our sports programs are thriving, attracting more Native youth and families, thanks to the safe and positive environment created by our coaches who come from the same communities as the youth. 

Our youth council continues to shine in its second year. The young leaders are currently organizing a sock drive for unhoused relatives, demonstrating their commitment to serving their communities. These youth are showing us how they want to lead in their communities in the future. In 2025, they’re looking forward to attending the National UNITY Conference, where they will network and learn with other future leaders. 

The NB3FIT cross-country team just competed at the USATF National Cross-Country Championships in Indianapolis, IN. This season, we had 28 athletes qualify for Nationals! It's important to note that of 102 members of our NB3FIT Running Club, 88 percent were able to participate this year because of scholarships funded by generous donors like you. 

With your donation to the NB3 Foundation, you will help us provide MORE scholarships for Native youth to join our programs, cover the cost of equipment and healthy snacks and host low to no-cost community events.

Thank you for your generosity and support. From all of us here at the NB3 Foundation, many blessings to you and your families this holiday season and always. 

In Health, 

Tunté Vigil 

President and CEO
