Thanks to all who joined us for our triathlon this year. We had over 300
racers, 120 volunteers and 500 spectators...our biggest race yet. We also had
over 60 kids in the Kids Fun Run. Thank you for helping us to raise $3000 for
the Okotoks Healthy Family Resource Center school supply program. We are also
pleased to let you know we raised over $16,000 for children in the Kids Hope
Ethiopia program. These funds go a long way in Ethiopia to helping these
children have a better future. Thank you.
We have some lost and found items from the race....a wetsuit, a tri
suit, goggles and bike gloves. Please contact us if you are missing these
items; info@foothillscharitytriathlon.com
A big thank you to the Alberta Culture and Community
Spirit Program who helped to provide us with more race course equipment this
year, through the Community Spirit Grant program.
The Foothills Triathlon Race committee will meet in September to make
plans for next year’s race. As our race has grown we are looking for folks who
would like to take an active role in organizing the triathlon. If you are

the volunteers and sponsors who helped us again this past year, and we hope
to see you back again in 2009!

Hope Ethiopia where the money will
be used to support Ethiopian children. We also raised $3000 for the Okotoks

2006 -------------------------------------------
We thought you might be interested in
knowing that in 2006 we were able to raise a total of $15,000 for Kids Hope
Ethiopia. The good news is that CHOIR, the
organization who runs Kids Hope Ethiopia received a matching grant for this
money through the Wildrose Foundation of Alberta,
matching the triathlon proceeds dollar for dollar. CHOIR has used this money
to support the 40 orphans in Ethiopia
as well as add 10 new children to the program. They have also been able to
build a school for 150 children, ages 4 to 9, who would otherwise receive no
education.
We are so pleased
with what has been accomplished. Thank you so much for your part in helping
these children. We invite you to join us again this year and bring your
friends! We hope to have another terrific race day and raise money once again
for children who really need our help.
Our focus remains on helping children in Ethiopia
As well, we are able to help children locally this
year. A portion of the proceeds will be used to help needy children in
Okotoks by providing school supplies.
