The IRONMAN Foundation® (IMF) and the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation (FHSPSF) have partnered to provide $125,000 in grant funding for first responder groups in six communities where IRONMAN® races take place. These grants, awarded for the purchase of critical, life-saving equipment, will be distributed at IRONMAN events taking place between April 2 and October 9, 2016. Now in their third year of partnership, FHSPSF and IMF have previously awarded $197,577 worth of equipment to 15 first-responder organizations in nine IRONMAN race communities.
The IRONMAN Foundation has formed an exclusive TEAM IMF Ambassador Team to encourage your continued involvement with a minimized fundraising commitment and a maximized service focus. The mission of our TEAM IMF Ambassador Team is to continue spreading the mission of The IRONMAN Foundation through service and fundraising within our IRONMAN race communities. As a TEAM IMF alumni, you have the unique opportunity to join this elite group for specific service initiatives at select focus races for the 2016 triathlon season.
