The TriROK Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization. Our mission is to defeat childhood obesity by transforming families' health through triathlon and its three sports of swimming, biking and running. The Foundation acts from the core value that everyone has the right to learn how to swim, ride a bike, and learn the tools to stay active for a lifetime. Our programs operate on the principle that the most effective way to get and keep children healthy and fit is to help their parents become active, healthy role models themselves.
The TriROK Foundation is based upon the highly successful work of Team TriROK, a local training group that was dedicated to helping sedentary adults get active by acquiring the skills and training necessary to complete a sprint triathlon. We are currently developing three major program areas: the Families Tri pilot program - our core intervention program to advance our mission; the North Shore Family Triathlon and Fitness Festival - our primary fundraising and educational vehicle; and Tri Alliances - our outreach and collaboration program.
