The Santa Barbara Triathlon has selected the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara as its beneficiary for the 2024 Santa Barbara Triathlon & Beach Festival, Aug. 24.
Since its inception in 1981, the annual Santa Barbara Triathlon has attracted participants and spectators to the East Beach/Cabrillo Bathhouse for the start of the swim, bike and run events.
This year’s triathlon will feature 10 events, culminating in a finish-line celebration with music and refreshments.
As part of its commitment to philanthropy, the Santa Barbara Triathlon will contribute $5,000, along with participant donations, to the Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara.
The contribution will aid the foundation’s mission to ensure superior cancer for all residents of Santa Barbara County.
“We are grateful to the Santa Barbara Triathlon for their incredible support,” said Lori Willis, executive director of the Cancer Foundation. “Their generosity enables us to fund critical oncology supportive care programs and make a tangible difference in the lives of our community members.”
