Englewood, CO (PRWEB) June 3, 2005
Baxa Corporation is sponsoring a bicycle racing team for the 16th annual Courage Classic ride to raise money for The ChildrenÂ’s Hospital of Denver. Baxa will provide financial support for the team, along with jerseys and riders. Team captain Jerrod Milton, Director of Campus Transition and Occupancy for the hospitalÂ’s new Fitzsimons facility, will lead 35 riders for Team Road Rage, including Baxa executives and associates.
One of ColoradoÂ’s premiere cycling events, the Courage Classic is a three-day, 157- to 203-mile adventure in ColoradoÂ’s high country from Leadville to Summit County and back. From July 16th to 18th, cyclists of all ages and abilities will experience the challenge of mountain riding while supporting this important cause. The 2005 fundraising goal for Team Road Rage is $25,000.00.
Not all of the Courage Classic fundraising efforts involve strenuous bike riding, however. Team supporters can raise money by participating in a dinner fundraiser June 8th at the Littleton Texas Roadhouse near Kipling and C-470. From 4:00 to 10:00 PM that evening, for every guest who mentions Team Road Rage the restaurant will donate 10% of their total bill towards the team goal.
Baxa Chairman and CEO, Greg Baldwin, rode in the 2004 Courage Classic and joins Team Road Rage again this year. “This is great event to give back to our community while having some fun with colleagues and friends,” he notes. “Baxa is delighted to be both a supporter and a participant in this fundraiser and I encourage all of our associates to ride, pledge or dine in support of The Children’s Hospital.”
