Fifteen spots for an exclusive dinner and behind-the-scenes tour of the Colorado Springs Olympic Training Center with three-time US Olympic triathlete Hunter Kemper are currently up for auction through USA Triathlon (USAT).
This special event will be held on 14 January 2011, in conjunction with the 2011 USA Triathlon Race Director Symposium in Colorado Springs.
All proceeds will go to the A-T Children’s Project, an organisation that raises research funds to find a cure for ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), a rare and fatal genetic disease that strikes children.
Dinner at the Olympic Training Center will be preceded by a one-of-a-kind tour of the facility. There are 15 spots available for the dinner and tour, and the minimum bid is US$100 per ticket. The 15 highest bids will win a spot for dinner and the tour, and Kemper will provide a special prize for the highest bid.
Bids can be emailed to Faye Stech, USA Triathlon Event Services Coordinator, at faye.stech[at]usatriathlon.org. The auction is open to the public, and bidders are not required to attend the symposium.
The International Triathlon Union (ITU) has posted a video about the involvement of Kemper and ultra-runner Tim Borland with the A-T Children’s Project.
