i-tri Girls

On Tuesday, June 9, i-tri celebrated 17 years of empowering middle school girls through the sport of triathlon. In a fun filled evening at of cocktails 🍸️, light bites, music, and amazing generosity from our community, i-tri’s Power Ball was a wonderful success. 🪩🩷✨

Whether it was bidding on our silent auction prizes, throwing tickets into the bags for the Chance auction 🎟️, or participating in our live Powerball drawing (hot pink ping-pong balls!) 🤩 our guests fully took advantage of all the fun of the evening!

One of the most amazing moments came when i-tri alum and current university of Richmond rising junior, Sophia Rodriguez, told us in her own heartfelt words what i-tri has meant in her life. 💞 Speaking about her initial fear of participating in i-tri, specifically about her fear of riding a bike, Sophia told us, “It was never about the bike,” her words truly touched everyone in attendance.

i-tri is grateful for the support of our sponsor, Dayton Ritz Osborne Insurance (). 👏 We are also grateful to all those businesses and individuals who donated raffle or auction prizes, who participated in our paddle raise, and who supported us by celebrating with us. 🤗

For 17 years, i-tri has been doing the work of empowering middle school girls through the sport of triathlon. 🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Our team has always known that sport is a powerful tool that isn't only beneficial for the body, but also for the mind. And now, there are multiple studies to back this up.

📝 A detailed study of over 11,000 kids, aged 9-13, shows that those who play sports have fewer mental health incidents then those who do not play (thank you to our partners at for guiding us to this study!). Read more about the study here: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0268583

i-tri is helping our communities raise physically and mentally healthy, strong, empowered girls and we celebrate all organizations that are supporting mental health this May. 🩷

Can you believe we're just 57 days away from this year's 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐨𝐧? 😱 Training season has officially begun and the warm weather has allowed us to practice our biking skills, which makes replacing our inventory of bike helmets a priority to keep the girls safe.

With more than 200 girls in our programs across Eastern Long Island, and 25% more girls than ever before, we need to replace this equipment as soon as possible. 😅 Each helmet costs $75, can you help us protect our girls and Power Her Potential?
