ATLANTA, GEORGIA September 15, 2003 Raceday announced today the creation of a non-profit company dedicated to funding endurance athletics. Raceday hopes to provide financial assistance to individuals and organizations that desire to participate in, create, or continue in endurance athletics but are unable to as a result of financial limitations. "We understand that endurance sports are typically poorly supported, eliminating a large portion of the population from ever being able to compete." says co-founder Tony Berwald. "We want to directly participate in the promotion and growth of endurance athletics. Additionally, by encouraging participation at a young age, we hope to promote a lifestyle of healthful living, thus replacing the trend of TV and Video Game' youth culture. We believe our programs will incent young people to go outside and participate in endurance sports. In the long term, we hope this will help at reducing obesity and the diseases that go along with it." Raceday is looking for individuals and groups who want to receive Raceday Awards. To determine if you or your group might be eligible, visit the Raceday website at www.racedayinc.org. Raceday is also looking for people who share the same ideals to show support through donations. The company's goal is to get 1 million people to donate just $5 by November 3.
