Mission Statement
Exceeding Expectations, a program in the San Bernardino School District that serves an inner-city population, is designed to encourage at-risk kids to move their lives in a positive direction, using the sport of triathlon as the vehicle.
The goal is not to develop the kids into elite athletes, but rather to offer them opportunities to participate in a lifestyle that is healthy, goal-oriented and very unlike that which they experience in their everyday lives. We strive to replace negative influences with positive role models and to instill in the kids a powerful new discipline of setting measurable goals and working hard to achieve them.
Education Read about the Blazeman Memorial Scholarship established by the Blais Family. To be conferred annually in memory of Jon "Blazeman" Blais, it will benefit our foundation and honor two outstanding older EE team members with college scholarships.
Not to be missed: An amazing violin recital by EE kid Josh Rodriguez. Also see him featured in the April, 2011, edition of USA Triathlon magazine
Update: See and hear Josh play "Spring" from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" and Archi tackle the first movement of the same composer's "Concerto in A Minor." From a May 29, 2011, recital put on by their violin teacher.
