Spring is in the air and this is a fantastic time to start your fundraiser. “Race with Purpose” is a new program sponsored by CORE Foundation that allow you to make the most of your Reston Sprint Triathlon experience by enjoying V.I.P Perks including custom RST tri tops, shorts and cycling jerseys while at the same time, helping out a neighbor. CORE created this opportunity because our athletes say they want to enhance their athletic endeavor beyond just personal accomplishment.

Many thanks to CORE Foundation’s top fundraisers so far! Those who have raised over $500:  Fred Aryan, Christina Romeo, Madeline Farmer, Taralyn Kohler, and Brigitta Toruno. CORE’s new “Race with Purpose“ program has raised an additional $10,000 this year, with an additional $20,000 in pledges received. Funds raised will help those in our community who are in need.

Please come to our Meetup THIS Monday, 4/2. at Red’s Table in Reston, 5:30 – 7:30 pm. CORE Foundation’s Executive Director, Taralyn Kohler, will be there to answer your questions and brainstorm on how to make your campaign effective. Some athletes have chosen to enhance their campaign by writing a blog article and allowing us to share their story on social media. Here are some great examples. Those athletes who tell their story often meet their fundraising goals in a week and also share inspiration. After all, isn’t sharing inspiration what this is all about?
