Enjoy Lunch in the Denver area with US Olympians Joey Cheek and Tamara Jenkins.
What does it take to be a champion? Find out at an intimate lunch with two Olympians.
A native of Greensboro, NC, Joey Cheek grew up as an inline skater and made the switch to the ice in 1995. Cheek began his ice career as an "Allround" or distance skater but later switched to the shorter sprint distances, where he really began to shine. A bronze medal winner in the 1,000 meter event at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, Cheek fulfilled a lifelong dream at the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy, where he won gold in the 500 meters and silver in the 1,000 meters. That same season Cheek won the World Sprint Championships and became the first-ever recipient of US Speedskating's 'Eric Heiden Athlete of the Year' award. Perhaps Cheek’s most notable effort, however, began off the ice when he made the remarkable gesture of donating $40,000 in winnings to Right To Play, an athlete-driven international humanitarian organization that uses sport and play as a tool to help young people in the most disadvantaged areas of the world. Joey is also a motivational speaker and entrepreneur.
Tamara Jenkins is a United States Olympian, Director of the United States Olympians and Paralympians Alumni Association, and President of the Southern California Olympians and Paralympians. She has held Director positions at USA Canoe/Kayak and LA2024 where she led athlete-focused initiatives in marketing, social media and public relations. She represented the United States in every major International Canoe Federation World Cup and World Championship competition between 1996-2000 and finished her career by winning U.S. Olympic Trials to achieve the great honor of competing in the Olympic Games in Sydney 2000. Jenkins is also an award-winning documentary filmmaker who speaks on a wide range of topics including the role of women in sport and technology.
