CYCLING FOR A CAUSE

Duane now resides in California, and was unable to make it back to Ohio for the Pelotonia big ride. Rather than letting the opportunity pass him by, he contacted The Polo Club leadership team to see if he could create a local event to help raise funds for Pelotonia. The team was happy to oblige and helped Duane plan an entire week of events including a pickleball round robin tournament, outdoor yoga, “kamikaze karaoke,” a local bike ride, and a silent art auction. Throughout the week Members and team members came together to donate their time and help raise $12,000 for Pelotonia. Over the course of the four years that Duane has been riding for Pelotonia he has raised $27,500.
