The 2015 IRONMAN Texas race is in the books and it was a hot and humid one! The race may be over but the impact from IRONMAN Foundation Athletes is still going strong! This year, IRONMAN Foundation athletes gave back over $120,000 in grant funding to local nonprofit groups surrounding the course at IRONMAN Texas!
The IRONMAN Foundation will donate $50,000 to The Woodlands community to support local non-profit beneficiaries that will use the funds towards initiatives to better the area. One recipient of these funds is Meals on Wheels Montgomery County, a local organization that will use their $10,000 grant to increase homebound meal deliveries to seniors not currently being served. Allison Hulett, Executive Director, said “Meals on Wheels Montgomery County currently serves 450 homebound seniors with a nutritious meal every day. These are the elderly among us that otherwise could not procure a meal for themselves. With that said, we still have a waiting list of approximately 200 disabled seniors needing our services to continue to age in place in their homes, where they want to stay. We are grateful that The IRONMAN Foundation will allow our organization to deliver 5,460 meals to needy seniors over the next 12 months!”
