Sunshine Foundation will be the beneficiaries of this Event. If

Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) |
CAF grew out of a desire to assist one athlete, a
below-knee-amputee endurance racer Jim MacLaren
who suffered a devastating second accident while
competing in a triathlon. Jim was paralyzed from the
neck down. His many friends quickly decided to raise
funds for his recovery, and organized the first San
Diego Triathlon Challenge (SDTC) an annual fundraising
triathlon event at La Jolla Cove. From this modest
beginning arose a more important mission to make sure
that people with physical challenges have the same
freedom to enjoy sports that the rest of us take for
granted.
|
Sunshine Foundation |
Sunshine Foundation was established in 1976 to
answer the dreams of seriously ill, physically
challenged and abused children ages 3 - 18 nation
wide. To date Sunshine Foundation has answered over
32,000 dreams.
|
Soldier Security Association of America |
Soldier Security Association of America was formed to
provide veterans who live with service related disabilities
of a physical or emotional nature the opportunity to
receive private financial or in-kind benefits in a variety
of areas.
|
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) |
The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) was founded on
the principle that veterans are our nation's greatest
citizens. The WWP seeks to assist those men and
women of our armed forces who have been severely
injured during the conflicts in Iraq , Afghanistan , and
other locations around the world. Many of the injuries
are traumatic amputations, gunshot wounds, burns
and blast injuries that will retire these brave warriors
from military service.
