Janus is pleased to announce that the Janus Charity Challenge program is now a part of the Life Time Race to the Toyota Cup Triathlon Series!
In the investment world, performance is often gauged by averages. Ironically, Janus is anything but average. As a global investment management firm, we push ourselves to work harder, dig deeper and think smarter so that our investors can Go Farther.
Janus is proud to support athletes who, like us, refuse to settle for average. Through our sponsorship of a variety of triathlon events and our creation of the Janus Charity Challenge - a unique program that helps triathletes raise money for their favorite charities - we offer individuals with high aspirations another way to rise above the norm.
The Janus Charity Challenge is the firm's signature national giving initiative, and has inspired thousands of people - athletes and non-athletes -- to meet the needs of their own communities. The program was originally launched in 2001 in conjunction with Janus' 10-year sponsorship of the elite Ironman triathlon series, which ended in 2010. The Janus Charity Challenge is now available to a broader segment of competitive athletes through the Life Time Race to the Toyota Cup Triathlon Series, an internationally-renowned series of several of the most prominent triathlon events in the United States.
Since its humble beginnings, the Janus Charity Challenge has helped raise more than $48 million for hundreds of charities - each one hand-picked by athletes inspired to turn their passion for triathlon into a passion for their favorite charitable cause. We're proud of the program's achievements and grateful to the athletes and donors who, during our first decade, willingly rose to the Challenge we placed before them. Now, with the Janus Charity Challenge more widely available, we intend to increase that amount -- exponentially. We look forward to the next decade, to expanding the program's reach and to making an even larger contribution to people, organizations and communities in need.
