Also present at IRONMAN Florida were over 350 Foundation Athletes that supported The IRONMAN Foundation and IRONMAN race communities through their purchase of a Community Fund entry into IRONMAN Florida. Theses Community Fund Entries are double the typical registration fee. Half of this registration is then given to The IRONMAN Foundation as a tax-deductible donation, and the other half is kept for your race fees.
Community Grants The IRONMAN Foundation provides charitable support to a variety of local non-profit organizations that recognize citizens in need and support The Foundation’s mission. The Foundation works with community leaders to identify projects and initiatives and to provide funding in order to support worthwhile causes. This year, The IRONMAN Foundation’s Community Fund will provide a $10,000 community grant to the Salt River Community Children’s Foundation to meet the needs of underserved tribal youth in the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community in the areas of health, education, and general welfare. “We have helped youth who may not be otherwise served to participate in programs or activities their parents may not have been able to afford without the IRONMAN Foundation’s help,” said Chairman Robert Scabby. “For example, we have helped the Salt River High School and Elementary School partner with the Phoenix Symphony in a year-long, music education residency program. We have also helped the Youth Services program implement a Club-Fit program–a catalyst for developing positive, healthy children lifestyles.”
