W.E. Bassett Sponsoring Tri-Challenge with a match challenge!
Match MetOn July 29, Shelton Architectural firm Fletcher Thompson made a pledge of $500 meaning that the W.E. Bassett challenge has now been met! We thank Fletcher Thompson and everyone else who has responded to the W.E. Bassett Challenge in supporting Nick's Tri-Challenge. We are now over the $11,000 mark in total pledges with a month still to go! |
The W.E. Bassett Company added an extra incentive to Nick Tarasovic's Tri-Challenge in the form of a unique sponsorship. The local manufacturers of the well known TRIM brand of personal care products matched all of the other pledges made to Nick up to a total of $5,000!
Original story:
Nick Tarasovic (Husband of Pat Tarasovic, Director of
the Volunteer Center at United Way) is a big, compassionate guy - well,
maybe not quite as big, but still as compassionate - since he started
training to be a tri-athlete. He's now
raised his sites on completing the
Revolution3 Cedar
Point event in Sandusky, Ohio on September 12, 2010. All he will have to do is swim
2.4 miles, ride a bike
for 112 miles and run 26.2 more miles!
That takes dedication and motivation, and when you mix that with Nick's compassion and community spirit, you come up with the ingredients for the Tri-Challenge. That's Tri as in Try! Nick's never done a Triathlon like this before, but he is certainly going to Tri to complete this one. In order to keep him motivated, we've set up the Tri-Challenge, and we're asking you to be part of Nick's support team by really motivating him to train hard and support the community at the same time.
Thank You!
