2008 DANSKIN WOMEN’S TRIATHLON SERIES PLEDGE PROGRAM

WELCOME to the site where you can pledge funds to support your special Danskin Triathlete, The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), and the National Association of TEAM Survivor (NATS).

Support the fight against cancer by collecting donations from family, friends and colleagues AND earn prizes, including Danskin apparel. All pledge funds will be shared equally by The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the National Association of Team Survivor, and all donations to these non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations are tax deductible.

Since its inception in 2005, contributions to the Danskin Women's Triathlon Series Pledge Program totaled nearly $350,000. Last year, more than 250 triathletes collected pledges from more than 2,000 donors around the nation. The average pledge was $55.32; the largest was $2,000.00, and the smallest was $3.00. A contribution of any size is important. You may be able to increase the power of your gift with corporate matching; many companies will match your charitable contribution - check with your human resources department to see if your employer matches employee donations. Imagine the power we can have if even more triathletes choose to collect pledges for the cause this year!
