Bright Invention!

Since last year, Ben has been training to compete in triathlons as a tribute to his deceased friend Jim MacLaren. He ran his first Sprint-distance tri last fall, and this year is moving up to Olympic Distance (see the distances above)! Since most organized triathlons have been cancelled or postponed by the coronavirus, Ben is running this tri solo, using the Willow Grove YMCA as his base.
Like most nonprofits, Bright Invention finds itself facing some challenges this year. The board, staff and ensemble are united in doing what we can to continue our mission: Bright Invention uses improvisation to empower people and organizations to unlock their potential.
