SAN DIEGO, CA<\/strong> – E\u014dS Fitness proudly presented a check for $110,000 to the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) in a powerful show of support for inclusive and active lifestyles. The donation follows joint fundraising efforts to advance CAF\u2019s mission to provide individuals with physical disabilities resources to pursue active lifestyles and competitive sports.<\/p>\n

As the title sponsor of Tour de Cove, a half-day cyclethon and a highlight of the CAF Community Weekend in San Diego, E\u014dS Fitness led companywide fundraising efforts to support the cause. On November 3, more than 100 participants gathered dressed in Halloween costumes for a \u201cspooky spin\u201d at Bonita Cove near South Mission Bay, riding individually or as three-person relay teams to raise money and celebrate athletes with physical disabilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dedication of our members and team members to making a positive impact in the lives of CAF athletes is remarkable, and their overwhelming support makes this event even more meaningful,\u201d said Shilpi Sullivan, chief marketing officer, E\u014dS Fitness. \u201cE\u014dS is committed to building a fitness community that\u2019s not only accessible and inclusive but also truly empowering\u2014where everyone, regardless of their starting point, has the resources and support to thrive. We\u2019re excited to extend our partnership with CAF for another three years. Together, we\u2019re breaking down barriers and uniting people through the transformative power of sports and fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n

CAF athletes rode side-by-side with event attendees and shared their stories on stage. Throughout the day, E\u014dS group fitness instructors led various modified cycle classes. The fundraiser concluded with a check presentation by E\u014dS CEO Rich Drengberg and Sullivan.<\/p>\n

E\u014dS and CAF have partnered for the past four years, raising nearly half a million dollars. Over the next three years, E\u014dS will continue fundraising for CAF and supporting its athletes year-round by sponsoring memberships, benefiting more than 100 CAF athletes nationwide as part of CAF\u2019s grant program.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy rallying together, we can truly enhance the quality of life for our athletes,\u201d said Kristine Entwistle, chief executive officer, CAF. \u201cWe are so thankful for the E\u014dS community\u2019s generosity and compassion in keeping these individuals participating in sports and physical activities, redefining what is possible and pushing the boundaries of accessible fitness.\u201d<\/p>\n
