Renew Chicago provides financial and leadership support to more than a dozen local organizations that impact and educate our neighborhood communities through homeless ministries, foster care, sports coaching, teen mentoring and professional development. Made possible by some men and women with big goals and even larger hearts for making a difference in our hometown, we will raise $30,000+ to help
fund another local start-up (Brave Initiatives) and deliver financial, leadership and social outreach support where it's needed most. A $750+ fundraising commitment ($250 registration fee and $500+ in fundraising) is rewarded with a best-in-class participant package inclusive of a race entry, Tri kit, shoes, training, social events and incredible fundraising incentives. Whether you are an aspiring triathlete interested in taking a leap of faith or a prospective donor with the heart to support this journey, THANK YOU for your consideration. Please explore the pages of this site to learn more about how Renew Chicago is impacting the city through initiatives like Brave and what's involved in joining the team as we together tackle the iconic challenge of successfully competing and completing the 2016 Transamerica Chicago Triathlon. As we prepare to formally launch the team, please send any questions to Team Captains Jay Knobloch (312-498-7470 / [email protected]) and/or Scott Nenninger (312.493.3871 / [email protected]).
