The Swim for Smiles Foundation will host the area’s first-ever youth-only triathlon on Saturday to raise money for the N.C. Children’s Hospital.

Swim for Smiles is a Chapel Hill-based nonprofit organization that raises money for children’s hospitals through youth swim-related sporting events. Gary Kayye, founder of the organization, said they hope to raise $20,000 through the triathlon.

The two-year-old foundation has already raised more than $14,000 for local children’s hospitals with charity swim meets and relay events.

To register for the area’s first-ever youth-only triathlon or for more information about the event, visit www.swimforsmiles.org. To make a donation, send a check to the Swim for Smiles Foundation, 400 Meadowmont Village Cr., Suite 425, Chapel Hill, N.C., 27517.
