Club Sponsorship

The Toowoomba Tri Club has a growing Junior Squad that has the potential of representing Australia in the Olympic Games in Brisbane in 2032.  If you or your company would like to help us get them there, please reach out.  Some of our junior athletes have old hand-me-down bikes which have been great to get them to where they are now but for them to be competitive at their level they need the latest tech.  This includes light weight modern bikes, bike computers, power meters, shoes and tri-suits.  As you can imagine, these things are expensive and not in every parents ability to pay.

These young athletes also require regular face to face training.  Many have the ability to progress with a training plan, others need more guidance and direct coaching.  Coaching fees are another expense that parents may not have the budget for.  In some cases, some parents are paying a different coach for each discipline (swim, bike, run) in the sport.

How do we give our young athletes from the Darling Downs the same opportunities as those on the coast?  We have no open water swim facility here and as such need to take our athletes to the coast or Wivenhoe Dam to get this experience.  The club doesn’t have its own gym equipment and asking parents to fork out for a gym membership is often the straw that breaks the camels back.  

We are keen to talk to individuals or companies about sponsorship.  Sponsorships can be in the form of a bursary or scholarship of an individual athlete, or it can take the form of free gym membership, bikes, shoes or gym equipment.  The club also takes donations (See below).

Donations

Donations can be made via the Australian Sports Foundation fundraising platform here:  https://asf.org.au/campaigns/ttc/toowoomba-tri-club-donations  We have set a $50,000 cash goal but we will take donations in equipment or services.

You are encouraged to think how you can support these young athletes.  They need physio’s, remedial massage, running shoes, cycling shoes, training kit, coaching, gym equipment or membership, travel and accommodation (most events are held on the coast), just to name a few.
