One of the key components to the success of Tri for a Cure, other than our athletes crossing the finish line, is fundraising! This event has the potential to be one of the biggest fundraisers for the Maine Cancer Foundation, funding cancer research and patient support in Maine. There are several ways that you as an athlete, spectator, friend or supporter will be able to help with the fundraising effort:

  • Registration: Upon registering, each athlete will get her own fundraising page you can personalize with your own pictures. This page is loaded with opportunities for the athlete to reach out to friends, family and supporters for donations. Your friends will be amazed at your strength and determination! The people on your chosen email list will be able to donate online and pay on their credit card. Any donation can be made in honor or in memory of a friend or loved one and the tribute will scroll on your donation page. The funds will automatically transfer to your fundraising total.
  • Printed donation form: You can print a pledge form and collect donations from your friends and family. Click here for form (pdf).

There will be prizes awarded based on fundraising amounts:

  • $100 Tri for a Cure mesh shopping bag
  • $300 Tri for a Cure Headsweats visor and Tri for a cure shopping bag
  • $600 Tri for a Cure Microfleece and Tri for a Cure shopping bag
  • $1,200 FREE entry into the 2009 Tri for a Cure, Tri for a Cure Headsweats visor and Tri for a Cure shopping bag

Athletes will receive their prize(s) at check in if all funds are turned in by July 15th! Donations turned in after the 15th may require prizes to be shipped.
