EoS Fitness Raises Over $100K for Challenged Athletes Foundation, Renews Commitment to Eliminating Barriers to Fitness

EoS Fitness proudly presented a check for $110,000 to the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) in a powerful show of support for inclusive and active lifestyles. The donation follows joint fundraising efforts to advance CAF’s mission to provide individuals with physical disabilities resources to pursue active lifestyles and competitive sports.

As the title sponsor of Tour de Cove, a half-day cyclethon and a highlight of the CAF Community Weekend in San Diego, EoS Fitness led companywide fundraising efforts to support the cause. On November 3, more than 100 participants gathered dressed in Halloween costumes for a “spooky spin” at Bonita Cove near South Mission Bay, riding individually or as three-person relay teams to raise money and celebrate athletes with physical disabilities.

“The dedication of our members and team members to making a positive impact in the lives of CAF athletes is remarkable, and their overwhelming support makes this event even more meaningful,” said Shilpi Sullivan, chief marketing officer, EoS Fitness. “EoS is committed to building a fitness community that’s not only accessible and inclusive but also truly empowering—where everyone, regardless of their starting point, has the resources and support to thrive. We’re excited to extend our partnership with CAF for another three years. Together, we’re breaking down barriers and uniting people through the transformative power of sports and fitness."

CAF athletes rode side-by-side with event attendees and shared their stories on stage. Throughout the day, EoS group fitness instructors led various modified cycle classes. The fundraiser concluded with a check presentation by EoS CEO Rich Drengberg and Sullivan.

EoS and CAF have partnered for the past four years, raising nearly half a million dollars. Over the next three years, EoS will continue fundraising for CAF and supporting its athletes year-round by sponsoring memberships, benefiting more than 100 CAF athletes nationwide as part of CAF’s grant program.

“By rallying together, we can truly enhance the quality of life for our athletes,” said Kristine Entwistle, chief executive officer, CAF. “We are so thankful for the EoS community’s generosity and compassion in keeping these individuals participating in sports and physical activities, redefining what is possible and pushing the boundaries of accessible fitness.”
