The Y Not Tri-South County Sprint Triathlon is a special event that supports the YMCA Annual Support Campaign, which raises funds needed by YMCA branches to give back to the community through financial assistance. This is what allows the YMCA to be available to everyone - regardless of their ability to pay. Annual Support helps children attend out-of-school programs and camp, families maintain a healthy lifestyle, seniors face the challenges of aging and cancer survivors regain their strength.
