Wilmington, DE, October 12, 2016 – Innovincent and Today Media are pleased to announce that Delaware Today will be a Media Sponsor for the Second Annual Delaware Charity Challenge Winter Indoor Triathlon. As part of its Media Sponsorship, Delaware Today will award a marketing prize to the team that raises the most money during the Delaware Charity Challenge Winter "Race-to-Raise" fundraising competition, which runs from October 1, 2016 to January 6, 2017.

The Delaware Charity Challenge fundraising and athletic competitions help organizations, families, and individuals raise money and awareness for their favorite causes. Since May 2015, teams have collectively raised more than $75,000 for area nonprofits in three Delaware Charity Challenge events.
For the 2016 Winter Delaware Charity Challenge, Delaware Today will award a grand prize certificate to the team that raises the most money for its selected nonprofit beneficiary. The certificate may be exchanged for a 1/3-page square print advertisement to be placed in an upcoming issue of Delaware Today magazine. The Delaware Today prize is valued at $2,435. Certain restrictions apply.
"We are excited that Delaware Today is a Media Sponsor for the Delaware Charity Challenge and is using the event in a meaningful way to back to the local community," says Charlie Vincent, president of Innovincent LLC, the company that developed and manages the Delaware Charity Challenge. "Providing the top fundraising team with a prize like this is a creative way to encourage the teams in the challenge to raise lots of money for their favorite cause."
Monica Weber, Director of Marketing at Today Media, says Delaware Today is proud to partner with the Delaware Charity Challenge. "The Winter Indoor Triathlon is a fun way for friends and families to join together and help area nonprofit organizations raise money at the same time. We hope the Delaware Charity Challenge continues to grow and we look forward to being a part of it."
Registration is open for the 2nd Annual Delaware Charity Challenge Winter Indoor Triathlon, which takes place at the Chase Center on the Riverfront on Saturday, January 7, 2017. The Run, Row, Bike Triathlon consists of a 45 minute race on a treadmill, rowing machine, and spin bike (15 minutes on each machine) and is open to teams and individuals who wish to compete.
