The Tucson Jewish Community Center will present “Consider Yourself Challenged,” a family friendly fundraiser on Sunday, Feb. 8 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The University of Arizona TriCats will be on hand to conduct children’s activities and discuss equipment and training required to participate in a triathlon. Mary Kate Callahan, a U.S. paratriathlete and a UA TriCat, will be the guest speaker.
There will be a silent auction and a vendor expo with coaches, event directors and retailers sharing ways to get active in Tucson. Food trucks, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be available.
All proceeds benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation and will be earmarked for Tucson-area challenged athlete grant requests in 2015. For more information, visit www.challengedathletes.com.
