“There are so many athletes who can benefit from the programs that ASA provides. We are proud to be able to provide them with training programs and participation in mainstream running and triathlon events at no cost to their families,” said founder and ASA Executive Director Dave Slomkowski. “The look on their faces when they cross the finish is priceless. Our athletes are truly an inspiration to us all. Having partners such as Universal Marathon Blankets helps us support our athletes as well as spread the ASA mission. We are thrilled to be named as one of Universal Marathon Blankets Charity Partners.” 
 

Ryan Rush, CEO of Universal Marathon Blankets, stated, ““We created Universal Marathon Blankets because we believe in the pursuit of excellence in business as well as in athletics. We especially like the running, triathlon and cycling communities since so many people are participating seeking their own athletic performance goals. Then when we were introduced to Dave and ASA, we knew that Universal Marathon Blankets had to get involved. ASA’s mission is to make sure everyone can participate no matter what challenges may arise. It is our hope that this new partnership will help promote even greater participation in all these athletic endeavors and that race directors and event promoters will agree."
