All children need a chance. But at-risk children need more than most. And that’s what Tribuddies is designed to do:  Provide these deserving kids a chance to build character, confidence, and spirit by competing in a youth triathlon.

Working with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Columbia, we’re training 10 kids to participate in running-swimming-cycling events – the first of which will be held in September. It’s a unique program – one we started in Columbia and hope will spread nationally – that partners children with a diverse range of people and resources that can help them fulfill their potential through activities that are both focused and fun.

Our goal is simple: To do whatever it takes, and give the kids whatever they need, to show what they’re capable of achieving when given the opportunity. And by doing that, we can help ensure that no matter where these children finish in the competition, they will all be winners in the end.
