NEW YORK – TYR Sport, the leading global manufacturer of swim and triathlon gear, is proud to announce it has raised over $200,000 for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) through sales of the TYR Pink collection.

Now in it’s second year, the co-ed TYR Pink collection has been expanded to include even more exciting products that cater to all ages and skill levels. For every purchase from the collection, TYR donates between $1 – $5 to BCRF.

“BCRF is so proud to partner with TYR for a second year to support this campaign and, in turn, our work to advance groundbreaking research globally,” said Myra Biblowit, president of BCRF. “It’s thanks to altruistic brands like TYR that help fuel BCRF’s mission.”
