Ride On…todson Signs On As Corporate Sponsor For May Institute's Rodman Ride For Kids Team
For the second consecutive year, North Attleboro-based Todson, Inc., distributor of Topeak bicycle accessories and OnGuard Locks, will be a sponsor for the May Institute's Rodman Ride team.
- (1888PressRelease) July 02, 2010 - In 2009, Todson contributed $5,000 towards the May Institute's fundraising efforts. Todson has matched that contribution for the 2010 Rodman Ride and has donated a bike and Red Sox tickets for the Ride's raffle. In addition, Todson staffers will participate as part of the May Institute's team in the Rodman Ride - a 25-, 50-, or 100-mile non-competitive cycling tour to raise funds for a wide variety of children's social service agencies across Massachusetts.
"The Rodman Ride for Kids has become one of those fundraisers that's an event-like what the Pan Mass Challenge does for The Jimmy Fund," said Neal Todrys, president and CEO of Todson, Inc. "Cycling accessories may be our business, but I can honestly say we'd be participating in this ride if we sold widgets-that's how much I believe in the good work the Ride does for very worthy non-profits like the May Institute."
May Institute serves children and adults with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities, brain injury, mental illness and behavioral healthcare needs. Since its founding 55 years ago, May Institute has evolved into a national network that serves over 25,000 individuals and their families annually. With corporate headquarters in Randolph, Mass., the Institute operates more than 200 service locations in the Northeast, Southeast, and on the West Coast.
Since its inception in 1991, the Rodman Ride for Kids has raised more than $30 million to help children across Massachusetts. That figures includes a whopping $7.2 million raised by the 2009 ride. That's a figure the May Institute team hopes to help top for the 20th annual Rodman Ride for Kids this year.
"Todson has been such a wonderful supporter of the May Institute and the Rodman Ride," said Heidi Howard, May Institute's Chief of Strategic Development. "We're delighted that they will again be joining our efforts to raise funds via the Rodman Ride."
