The IRONMAN Foundation® will distribute $55,000 in charitable giveback to non-profit initiatives and groups in the greater Chattanooga region in conjunction with the 2016 Little Debbie IRONMAN® Chattanooga triathlon presented by McKnee a Family Bakery taking place on Sunday, September 25, 2016. With this most recent donation from The IRONMAN Foundation, a total of $70,000 has been given back to the Chattanooga community this year. The IRONMAN Foundation Community Fund provides community and volunteerism grant opportunities to non-profit organizations where IRONMAN events are held. The IRONMAN Foundation’s contribution will provide support to non-profit needs and initiatives within the local community, and brings the total giveback to more than $225,000 in the region. In 2016, The IRONMAN Foundation will distribute more than $1.6 million in grant funding to support the needs of IRONMAN race communities across North America.
2016 IRONMAN Wisconsin, in Madison (also known as “Mad-City), went by in the blink of an eye! With almost 150 incredible IRONMAN Foundation Athletes representing on the race course, and dedicating their IRONMAN Wisconsin journey to Race For More , we were pumped to be out there cheering for every single one of them on race day.
Racing her 3rd full IRONMAN event later this month at IRONMAN Chattanooga, Erica has her eyes set on an even loftier goal- The 2017 IRONMAN World Championships. How’s she going to get there? By being a catalyst for change, and raising over $25,000 for The IRONMAN Foundation. While $25,000 may seem like a big number; impossible even, to some; it doesn’t scare Erica in the slightest bit. In fact, she’s almost there already, with over $22,000 raised so far! Through her IRONMAN Chattanooga journey, she’s going to be changing many more lives than just her own.
