Triathlete Jacob Blattner Fuels Greatness Through the USA Triathlon Foundation
Jacob shares his story of how triathlon became more than a race—it became a way of life.
An investment in the USA Triathlon Foundation is an investment in our community, sport and future.
As the charitable arm of USA Triathlon, the USA Triathlon Foundation supports grants and programs that advance three philanthropic priorities: encouraging youth participation, inspiring pathways to access and inclusion, and igniting Olympic and Paralympic dreams.
Every child should have the opportunity to be active and experience the joys of swim-bike-run. Funding toward this priority helps develop and cultivate youth-centric coaches, clubs and events around the United States to enable kids to practice and train in camps, and participate and race with each other.
Everyone should have the support and ability to participate, grow and excel in triathlon and multisport. Funding toward this priority delivers resources for Together We Thrive – USA Triathlon’s diversity, equity, inclusion and access initiative.
Every aspiring elite athlete and elite paratriathlete should have the opportunity to realize their potential and represent the United States on the world stage. Funding toward this priority enables the United States to achieve unprecedented global triumphs by building sustained success at the sport’s highest level and helping athletes reach their performance goals.
We're dedicated to inspiring the next generation of athletes through our flagship youth program, USA Kids Tri. Designed to introduce young participants to the thrill of multisport and promote healthy, active lifestyles, USA Kids Tri is making a tangible impact in communities across the nation.
With the generous support of donors like you, we've been able to launch USA Kids Tri programs in key geographic locations, with the most recent youth race event located in Phoenix, Arizona. Through these grassroots initiatives, we're providing children with the opportunity to discover the joy of swimming, cycling, and running in a fun and supportive environment.
At the USA Triathlon Foundation, we're proud to champion Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Access (DEIA) through transformative grants, including the Together We Thrive Black History Month Scholarship. This grant recipient, Brian Akamine, will leverage existing facilities and introduce new resources to engage the community in multisport training. His vision is to create local triathlon events that will bring new athletes into the multisport community, providing opportunities for those who may not have otherwise had the chance to participate.
Project Podium stands as USA Triathlon’s flagship men’s elite development program, now bolstered by a significant contribution to the foundation. A generous gift from Rick and Susan Hrabchack ensures our unwavering commitment to nurturing elite athletes, equipping them with the necessary resources and support to attain podium-worthy performances at the Olympic Games. With an emphasis on rigorous training, expert coaching, and a comprehensive development pipeline, Project Podium is steadfast in its mission to propel these athletes to the pinnacle of their sport..
