TRIFURY, INC. As filed with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on 11/5/2014 This Amendment is to replace the purpose of the corporation as previously filed so as to satisfy the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Code IRC 501(c)(3) as defined and under Internal Revenue Manual Part 7 Chapter 25, Section 26. Amateur Sports Organizations. The purpose of the corporation is to foster national and international amateur sports competition in the sport of triathlon within the states of Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire through the support and development of amateur athletes participating in multi-sport competition from within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (or the corresponding provision of any future United States Internal Revenue Law). Upon dissolution, the organization's remaining assets must be used exclusively for exempt purposes. Some of the early leadership was Cliff Jennings, Brian Krisler, and Dave Tyler. The core members were Ann Daly, Russ Crochetiere, Stephanie Fall, Maureen Forsyth, Kitty Gines, Kris Gines, Jason Hoyt, Stephanie Madigan, Jimmy Marsh, Dennis Richards, and Paul Sedgwick. Together a mission statement was defined. TriFury welcomes athletes of ALL abilities and believes that if you have the desire and motivation to train and compete (and a little fury or fire in the belly), you too can do a triathlon. Join TriFury and experience the camaraderie and goodwill as we develop and promote the sport of triathlon at all distances - from Sprint to Ironman®. Stephanie Fall, a professional graphic designer, is credited for the creation of the TriFury logo and original artwork. The uniform is easily recognized and has traveled throughout the world with our members. Today TriFury has 275 active members; we have been the USAT Division 1 State of Massachusetts, New England, and National Club Champions; we have members who have qualified and raced for the National and World Championships. The majority of our members use the sport of Triathlon to give their lives a challenge, and with that challenge comes a new meaning that extends long after the race is over. TriFury is dedicated to supporting amateur triathletes from the first timer to the experienced age group competitor in the Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire. Come be a part of TriFury. |
