The Judy Flannery Memorial Fund was
established following the tragic  death of the first Women's Commission chair in
1997. This 501(c)(3) organization is devoted to supporting talented master women
triathletes and honoring those who have contributed meaningfully to our sport.
The fund and the Women's Commission continually support ongoing activities to
honor Judy's memory. |

The second mission of the Fund is the presentation of the Spirit of Judy Flannery Award at the Women's Masters Breakfast at The National Triathlon Age Group Championships, this year in Shreveport, Louisiana in October. Nominations for this award are now open and letters of recommendation should be sent again to Celeste Callahan. Nominees should best represent those special qualities of Judy Flannery, among them: excellence in multi-sport, high moral character, and a demonstration of "giving back" to the sport |
