5th Consecutive Year: The Team of Champions

In the midst of all this terrible news surrounding COVID-19, there is some positivity for TeamOne!

All the TeamOne members and people who support the team should stand up from your home office chair and take a well-deserved bow. This recognition is possible because of everything the team members and donors provide to the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure effort.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) of Orlando stated that TeamOne is once again the “Team of Champions.” This makes the 5th consecutive year for the entire team to become the “Team of Champions!”

The Team of Champions Members

The following team members and their donors contributed to the team goals and have archived Champions status in the last five years. To become a Champion for Diabetes an individual must raise a minimum of $1,000 in donations. TeamOne “fun” raised $110,889 in donations during the last 5 years. This was accomplished by performing the task of asking for donations which is not an easy thing to do with the national emergencies which have happened requiring help from all in the last 5 years. Most team members partially or fully funded their own campaigns to achieve the Champion moniker. Some who may have had extra donations to spare distributed their funds to other struggling team members.

Time is one of the most precious things anyone can possess or give, you cannot create or purchase more of it. When someone invests their time with you or a cause it is an honor. They are investing something that they cannot get back. We appreciate everyone’s commitment of time through the years donated to this cause and also the time invested in the work to create the funds provided.

A BIG THANK YOU!

Given to the donors (our extended team members) that have always supported the team for the Tour de Cure.
