Early Tucson Saturday morning, Elisa attended the 2nd Annual "Tri" for Acts of Kindness Triathlon and Dualthlon 2011 Fundraiser, benefitting the Shyann Kindness Project. This organization was founded by Sandy and Glenn Rosati, who started it in memory of their daughter Shyann.
The mission of the Shyann Kindness Project is to pass on kindness by educating, supporting and encouraging children in stressful economic, social and medical situations, along with with providing guidance and support to caregivers of children with special needs. The Shyann Kindness Project, a 100% volunteer organization, honored Elisa, America's 30 with becoming a special full time volunteer with the project.
Elisa helped out with the kick off of the triathlon, which had over 180 participants. She assisted with the start of the triathlon at the pool, keeping count of the swimmers. After that Elisa helped out at the finish line cheering on the racers as they crossed the finish line, and handed out medals and gifts bags as thank you for participating in the 2nd Annual Triathlon.
Overall it was fun and exciting morning and Elisa is looking forward to working with this organization. For more information please visit www.shyannkindness.org
Thank you to Morella Bierwag, President, Pat Williams VP and Sandy and Glenn Rosati, Founders of the Shyann Kindness Project for having me participate in this amazing event and working with your organization in the future.
