Make Your 2009 Ironman Experience Mean Even More. Select
“Tri-ing for Children’s” Charity for your Janus Charity Challenge, and Raise Funds for Your Choice Of Children’s
Hospitals and Programs, All for Great Rewards.
Dear Ironman Candidate:
In conjunction with the Janus Charity Challenge, we would be honored to have you
be part of the Tri-ing for Children’s charity effort and dedicate your Ironman experience this year to raise
funds for our nation’s children’s hospitals, which are in great need of financial support in so many ways.
All levels of Ironman triathletes can join in, whether this is your first Ironman experience or your fifth.
To make it a personal experience, you will be allowed to choose which children’s hospital you will be competing
in honor of and the program or programs you would like your donations to support. Donations are tax deductible,
and qualify for available matching gifts programs for 501(c)3 organizations. In addition, you will be part
of the Janus Charity Challenge, which makes it easy to raise pledges with an on-line system and email communications to your
supporters. You will receive recognition through the program, and have the potential to qualify for additional
matching under the Janus Challenge program.

Along with the emotional benefits of being part of this effort, you’ll first receive your Headsweats Miles for
Smiles hat and participation pin. You’ll then set a pledge goal with Janus Charity Challenge to earn
a range of fantastic rewards up to a Blue Seventy Helix™ wetsuit ($450 value) along with a beautiful men’s
or women’s sterling necklace that you can wear as a reminder of your effort, after your Ironman experience becomes just
a memory. (Option is available to receive all your rewards upfront to have them available to use yet this
year with a deposit.)
......
To get started, complete the on-line registration form
(see link above). Then go to the Janus Charity Challenge Site and select Tri-ing for Children's as your recipient
charity. Refer to the awards levels that we use for our Triathlon fundraising which also apply for
Ironman Fundraisers. You will need a copy of our 501c3 tax letter. We will send this to you once your
register with the form on this site. Thanks. We hope it will bring meaning to your Ironman experience...
