Celebrities, athletes and locals helped raise over $175,000 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital at the Nautica South Beach Triathlon on Sunday.
Over 2,400 people competed side-by-side on the shores of Miami Beach for the 3rd annual event to raise money for pediatric cancer research.
Hannah Montana and Fame star, Anna Maria Perez de Taglé, kicked off the festivities by singing the national anthem. NFL Carolina Panther running back DeAngelo Williams hosted the awards ceremony and led the Kid Run and Tot Trot.
