Our Dear Friends---

We had a wonderful gathering at the Ritz Carlton on Thursday evening with Olympian great, Hunter Kemper.  For those of you who were able to be with us, you left with a sense that his future book about his life, accomplishments and his passion for the sport of triathlon may well be destined to be a best seller.  He is a warm and gracious guy and his interest in seeing the sport grow and prosper is evident.
We also were able to hear about the good work of the newly formed USA Triathlon Foundation---and we offer you a link here to learn more about their good work. usatfoundation.org
As the year comes to a close we hope each of you are already setting your sites high on a triathlon or some kind of "extraordinary event" to challenge us, and to stretch our comfort zones.  Hunter was a motivation to do just this.  But as we also set our goals for the year ahead, we hope you will take a moment to consider a year-end gift to the Foundation.  They have helped so many through their outreach and grant program---young people, groups providing more opportunities for athletes with disabilities, and even those who aspire to be future Olympians and Paralympians---and we want to make sure they continue to have the resources to do just that.  All levels of support will be put to good use.
To that end, attached please find the USA Triathlon Foundation 2017 Annual Fund Appeal along with the Fund Donate Card. You can go online and donate directly on the Foundation's website by clicking HERE or please use the Fund Donate Card or send your check to USA Triathlon Foundation, 5825 Delmonico Drive, Suite 200, Colorado Springs, CO 80919. 
Thank you all and we wish you a great holiday season.
