September 1, 2016

Headsweats, the world leader in performance headwear for athletes, is thrilled to announce their partnership with Team In Training (TNT), the flagship fundraising program of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) and the only endurance sports training program for charity that raises money for all blood cancers.

TNT provides participants with access to running, cycling and multisport training programs and events across the country, while providing coaching, fundraising resources and incentives. The training programs provide resources for achieving fundraising goals and connect participants to the patients and programs their funds are supporting.

“Team In Training enables people to help save lives and make a tangible impact while offering personal empowerment through physical achievement,” says Mike McQueeney, Headsweats’ President. “We are truly honored to partner with an organization that has been and continues to be so relentless in their search for a cure.”

Headsweats’ Team In Training Race Hats, Supervisors, Beanies, and Headbands will be available for purchase on the Headsweats website.  A portion of all sales will be donated directly to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
