 14 |  Subject: IMAZ 2015 spotsIf you have a desire to do Ironman Arizona this year but got shut out, consider racing for a charity. I did it last year with Smile Train which is an organization that helps kids with cleft lip and palate obtain the necessary surgery at no cost. The organization provides guidance for how to generate the necessary donations and also rolls out the red carpet in terms of providing coaching and VIP services before and during the race. If you have an interest or want additional information email Sarah Coulam at Smile Train: scoulam@smiletrain.org and let her know you saw Noah's post on the BT forum |

Elite 5311   Alturas, California | Subject: RE: IMAZ 2015 spots Downside is that if you do not raise the $5k you tend to pay out of pocket for these kind of things. That could make it a pricey race. Buying a charity slot would probably be cheaper. Just sayin. |

| 14 | Subject: RE: IMAZ 2015 spots Did it last year-- not so hard to get people to contribute. The charity helps with support plus anything you do contribute is tax deductible. I wound up contributing some and it was my main charitable deduction for this year's taxes. |

| 3 | Subject: RE: IMAZ 2015 spots This was amazing last year! Smile Train Team Empower provided the most support I have ever had for any race as well as for my family. 95% of my fundraising was through Facebook no problem. Plus they have a group who personally help you fundraise. I highly recommend signing up through Smile Train. |
