TRI 4 SCHOOLS DONATES OVER $100,000 TO LOCAL SCHOOLS

Announces exciting new partnership with Middleton Sports & Fitness.

Madison – After just three years, Tri 4 Schools’ events have donated over $100,000 for local schools to boost their health and fitness resources. Tri 4 Schools donates 100% of registration fees for their kids’ triathlons and youth muds runs back to the school of each participant. In 2014 alone, $25,000 has been donated as a result of two sell-out events.

“It has always been the goal of Tri 4 Schools to encourage kids to live a healthy and active lifestyle. For many kids today, phy-ed classes and other wellness programming at school is their only exposure to physical activity,” said Tri 4 Schools Founder and Executive Director Katie Hensel. “To reach $100,000 donated back to local schools to support the health of kids is astounding. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish with the next $100,000.”

Tri 4 Schools is able to continue donating to local schools thanks to their generous team of sponsors. Middleton Sports & Fitness has joined with Tri 4 Schools to be the presenting sponsor of the Middleton Kids Triathlon on August 16. Middleton Sports & Fitness has been serving the local community for over 30 years with everything from swimming equipment to hockey gear.

“Seeing the impact Tri 4 Schools has had in Middleton and the rest of Dane County inspired us to reach out to find how we could join them in the fight against childhood obesity,” said owner Rick Hong. “We believe in Tri 4 Schools’ mission and are excited to work with them to improve the health of children in our community.”

Registration for the Middleton Kids Triathlon presented by Middleton Sports & Fitness is now open at www.tri4schools.com. In order to ensure a safe event for all the kids, Tri 4 Schools relies on a dedicated team of volunteers and is always looking for more people who want to help in the fight against childhood obesity.
