“EōS Fitness doesn’t just sponsor CAF, they show up,” said Kristine Entwistle, Chief Executive Director of the Challenged Athletes Foundation. “Whether they’re hosting athlete moments at gym openings, rallying teams at the Tour de Cove cyclethon, or celebrating grant recipients, EoS brings tremendous heart, energy, and commitment. Their support empowers our athletes to train, compete, and live active lives without limits.” 

Powering Tour de Cove at San Diego Triathlon Challenge 

As the 2025 title sponsor of Tour De Cove Salty Spin, the iconic, high-energy cyclethon at La Jolla Cove, EōS Fitness helped raise $125,000 to support CAF athletes. More than 75 participants rode solo or in relay teams during the 4.5-hour event, pedaling alongside CAF athletes to celebrate community, resilience, and shared purpose. 

“This event continues to prove how powerful we are when we come together with purpose,” said Shilpi Sullivan, Chief Marketing Officer of EoS Fitness. “Our team members, family, and friends continue to show up with passion, helping us surpass our fundraising goals for CAF athletes. At EoS, empowering people of all fitness levels is at the heart of everything we do, and Tour de Cove reflects that mission in an unforgettable way.” 

Grants, Memberships, and Meaningful Moments that Move Athletes Forwars

This year’s campaign culminated in a check presentation featuring EōS Chief Executive Officer Rich Drengberg; EōS Chief Operating Officer Richard Idgar; EōS Chief Revenue Officer Michael Kennedy; and CMO Shilpi Sullivan. EoS Executive Vice President of Group Fitness, Joella Hopkins, and the group fitness team also presented a $2,500 sport expense grant to CAF athlete and runner Andrew Lalli, who lost part of his leg in a motorcycle accident. The grant will support his pursuit of competitive running. 

In another standout moment this fall, CAF and EōS Fitness surprised five-time Paralympian and eight-time Paralympic medalist David Wagner with a grant during a workout at an EoS gym in Encinitas. This support will help him fund his participation in next year’s Australian Open, playing wheelchair tennis.
