The Columbia Threadneedle Boston Triathlon combines a swim at
Carson Beach, a bike ride on William Day Boulevard, and a run along
the waterfront of Pleasure Bay. Athletes can compete individually
or as part of a team in the heart of Boston. Race and registration
information is available at BostonTri.com.
This partnership builds upon Columbia Threadneedle Investments’
global support for the sport of triathlon. Columbia Threadneedle
Investments is the Global Financial Services Partner of the
International Triathlon Union World Triathlon Series, which hosts a
series of events around the globe for elite and age group
triathletes. Columbia Threadneedle Investments, a leading global
asset management group with more than 500 people in Greater Boston,
will be working with Boston Triathlon to help further develop the
event.
“We are excited to become an integral part of the Columbia
Threadneedle Boston Triathlon and to make this investment in our
Boston community. Triathletes from Boston, New England and beyond
demonstrate commitment, determination and fortitude in achieving
their long-term goals,” said Ted Truscott, CEO of Columbia
Threadneedle Investments. “We find that these values mirror those
that drive us as we work to help our individual and institutional
clients achieve their investment goals.”
Building on Columbia Threadneedle Investment’s long-standing
commitment to the community, employees will have the opportunity to
raise money for the new Adolescent and Young Adult Substance Use
Disorder Treatment Program at Boston Medical Center (BMC), a
496-bed Level I trauma center and the largest safety-net hospital
in New England. BMC’s new treatment program will be a regional
referral center for youth under 24 years old and will provide care
and treatment plans for young patients who have developed substance
use disorders, as well as those who have experimented and may be at
risk for developing an addiction.
“Triathlon is one of the more popular participation sports
worldwide. Having Columbia Threadneedle Investments become a title
partner and join us to support our charitable partnership with
Boston Medical Center is exciting,” said Michael O’Neil, president
of the Boston Triathlon. “Together, this will allow us to make an
even greater positive impact in the Boston community.”
