RKF is local 501c3 Nonprofit, run by a Volunteer Board of Directors. Our mission is help make our little patch of the world a healthier, happier place. We achieve this by organizing events that encourage family fitness, support other local programs that also promote our mission and step in to partner or assist with any effort in our community where we can promote healthier kids, families and community.
​
When you race one of our 5 signature events, you participate in our mission as well as support other initiatives.
​
When you volunteer with us we turn your valuable, donated time into something good!
We need your help! Rocketkidz Foundation has been serving our community for over 15 years under the direction of an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Each year, we produce 5 events, including our Rocketkidz events specifically for children, Rocketchix Tri, and two triathlon races at False River. We have seen hundreds of children cross the finish line with smiles and joy at our events. And we LOVE the stories of woman who have started their own triathlon journey with us at Rocketchix in the all-female safe space. The profits from our yearly events are given back to the community in the form of grants that align with our mission to create and sustain active, fit and healthy children, families and communities through programming, advocacy and education. Everything we do aims to provide awesome race experiences for our local triathlon community with the added benefit of supporting the community at large. RKF knows of the deep history with our local races, including the beloved Louisiana Triathlon, but we can only sustain these events with the help of volunteers and the RKF board members.
So what do we need today? We are asking for new board members to join us in 2025. No specific experience required. Old or young, triathlete or not – we would love to have you! Please consider donating your time to us so that the legacy of Rocketkidz continues through our races and our grant awards for many more years to come. Want more info? Email info@rocketkidz.com with Board 2025 as the subject and we will get back to you.
