Celebrating 31 Years

The Triathlon of Compassion is the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre’s (VSAC) longest-running and biggest annual fundraising event. In 1993, the first annual triathlon for healing was organized.  The triathlon eventually became known as the Triathlon of Compassion and has become a community event with racers and fundraisers of all ages. The event helps raise funds and awareness to support the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre’s essential programs. Our partners, Human Powered Racing, host the race each year. We are deeply grateful to them for their ongoing support.

Since the Triathlon of Compassion began, folks like you have fundraised over $400,000 for the Victoria Sexual Assault Centre! It’s incredible what our community can do together. We look forward to celebrating another great event this year. 

Become a Fundraising Champion!

This year we’ve set a goal of raising $20,000 and you can help us get there. Every dollar raised ensures survivors of sexual assault have access to life-changing services and programs.

What Your Support Can Do

The Triathlon of Compassion is Victoria’s Sexual Assault Centre’s largest annual fundraiser. Now more than ever, we need the support of our community to maintain our services for survivors. 

Since the onset of the pandemic, there has been a rising need for crisis support. Help us raise $20,000 to provide urgently needed sexual assault support services and prevention education.

$20,000 can:

  • Provide 130 crisis counselling sessions,
  • Keep our clinic open 24 hours a day for two weeks, where recent survivors can access emotional support, medical care, and options for police reporting, and
  • Provide 10 prevention workshops to end gender-based violence

We rely on donations to fund this important work, so every dollar counts. Thank you for your support!
