The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) will auction a prized slot to the Ford Ironman World Championship at CAF’s annual gala dinner in New York City on June 8. For those unable to attend the gala, online absentee bidding will be available until 3pm (EST) the day of the event. Proceeds from the auction will help fund specialized equipment, training and coaching for physically challenged athletes.
Interested parties who are unable to attend the New York event can bid on the coveted slot by using the online Absentee Bid Form. Here, an auction representative will execute the bid during the live auction. Absentee bidders will be notified on Thursday, June 9, if they submitted the winning bid.
The winning bidder (or his/her designee) may compete in either 2011 or 2012 in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, and must complete an Ironman 70.3 or other long distance triathlon prior to the Ford Ironman World Championship race date.
