Event update
September 13, 2022, Grass Valley, CA ~ The committee and staff at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation are incredibly disappointed to announce that the 27th Annual Barbara Schmidt Millar Women’s Triathlon scheduled for Sunday September 18th has been canceled. The ongoing air quality issues makes the event set-up and race day not healthy for our athletes, volunteers, vendors, and supporters. Our hearts go out to those affected by the Mosquito Fire and many prayers for the first responders who put their life on the lines to fight for our friends and neighbors.
“Our number one goal is to always keep our athletes and volunteers safe for this event. It is our duty to protect the health of our community first and foremost,” said Sandra Barrington, Executive Director at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Foundation. “The event proceeds benefit the Barbara Schmidt Millar Fund to provide free mammograms and follow-up procedures to those in need. The fund also provides scholarships for female Nevada Union Seniors who are pursuing a career in health care. We will honor requests for reimbursement for any sponsor or athlete that requests this.”
“The committee is truly heartbroken to have to cancel this year’s event. The event proceeds benefit breast cancer care for Nevada County residents in honor of a dear friend Barbara Schmidt Millar who bravely fought breast cancer. We will continue to honor Barbara and all those that we train and race for,” said Danielle Scallin, Barbara Schmidt Millar Women’s Triathlon Director.
