Tri-ing for CV

Tri-ing for CV is an example of grass roots philanthropy at its best. Gregg Bienstock first became involved with The Children’s Village while serving as Chair of the Contributions Committee at Ambac Financial Group in New York City, where he is currently the SVP, Chief Administrative Officer and Employment Counsel.

An amateur triathlete, in 2005 Gregg decided to utilize his racing for a good cause and began his “Tri-ing for CV” campaign. In 2007, Gregg's "Tri-ing" efforts were joined by Scott Gottdiener, a partner at the law firm of Latham & Watkins. Over theyears, Tri-ing for CV has raised $ $154,500 as a result of collecting pledges for race participation.

In September of 2007, Tri-ing for CV won the 2007 Jarden Charity Challenge, which was presented to the team in the Jarden Westchester Triathlon who raised the most money for a single charity. As the largest fundraiser for the race, Gregg accepted a check from the Westchester Triathlon Committee for $1,500 for The Children’s Village . Together with Scott Gottdiener, Gregg raised more than $37,000 in pledges for the 2007 Jarden Westchester Triathlon, raising his total for the 2007 season to approximately $75,000.

We invite you to be part of Gregg and Scott’s 2008 season. The challenge for this year is to break the $225,000 mark (only another $70,500).
