Brighton, Mich., [June 17, 2013] – Board members from The Van House Foundation spent their Saturday at the Tour de Cure cycling event in support of The American Diabetes Association.
The Tour de Cure is a series of fundraising events held in 44 states nationwide to benefit the American Diabetes Association. This inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to grab their bike, and ride for the future of millions.
“We want to support The American Diabetes Association in anyway we can,” said Rick Van House, co-founder and chairman of The Van House Foundation. “It’s our goal to educate the younger generation about this disease and also gives us a chance to teach ourselves a thing or two as well.”
The group’s bikes were provided by Scott Dedenbach, owner of Reve Cycles and host of The Bike Shop Show. Other sponsors for the foundation’s team included this year’s presenting partner Team Brandt: Remerica Real Estate, and education partner, Whole Foods.
