Challenged Athletes Foundation needs your help

caf-logo21.jpgThis group does a wonderful job and now they need our help. Please pass the word and do what you can…

A fire at the foundation’s main office on Saturday destroyed an estimated $600,000 worth of property, equipment and banners which had been donated for their largest annual fundraiser - the 14th annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge in La Jolla on Oct. 28.

Since it began in 1994, the foundation has raised more than $11 million that it gives in grants to physically challenged athletes worldwide. In many cases, the money is used to buy wheelchairs and prostheses.

Virginia Tinley, the foundation’s executive director, hopes insurance will cover most of the damage, but is concerned that with the event just weeks away, they may not be able to replace the donated supplies for the fundraiser in time.
