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.

New! Read about the new 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 an outstanding older EE team member with a college scholarship.

Not to be missed: An amazing violin recital by EE kid Josh Rodrigues
