Avant Cycling Team Updates for July 2015

Michael Reader

Precision Plus of Elkhorn, Wisconsin,  has been an avid supporter of the Avant Cycling Team, follows their races and updates, and celebrates their accomplishments.

On a recent note, Tony Valenti updated us on the team:

On July 11, 2015, Rob White attended the National American Bicycle Racing (ABR) championship in Illinois. ABR is separate from USA Cycling and is a separate division of ranking.

Rob won! He is now the ABR national champion!

While we don’t attend many ABR races throughout the year, it is still an honor to have the national title for the team! We have been having a stellar year and have been receiving many new rider applications at the elite level. This only leaves us more excited for next year’s season and the elite team.

We will be attending the Prairie State Cycling Series starting Friday, July 17, and running through next week Sunday, and we are looking to claim our first yellow jersey of the season. Fingers crossed!

Best,
Tony
Again, thank you for all of your support!

To follow up on Tony’s note, Precision Plus congratulates Rob White on claiming Avant Team’s first yellow jersey of the season during Day 2 of the Intelligentsia Cup, powered by SRAM Prairie State Cycling Series, where he took over the series lead.

Precision Plus Applauds and Supports Events of Local Organizations

Michael Reader

One of the pluses of being part of a community is to be able to give back and support the organizations that lift the community in time of need. Precision Plus proudly supports the following events and the organizations behind them.

June 13, 2015 – “The Lombardi Walk to Tackle Cancer,” is a fundraising event organized by the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation, which has raised over $18 million to help fight cancer. “The organization’s sole purpose is to raise funds for leading-edge cancer research and compassionate care at the Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinics at Aurora Health Care. The Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinics are located through eastern Wisconsin.”

The walk took place simultaneously in several cities in Wisconsin, including Williams Bay in Walworth County, at Edgewater Park. All teams and walkers were eligible to receive matching funds from the foundation. Precision Plus supported the walk with a medical milestone sponsorship.

June 13, 2015 – “The Movers & Shakers Classic,” is a golf outing organized by the Wisconsin Parkinson Association (WPA). Since its inception in 1984, this charity organization “has provided information and resources about Parkinson disease to enhance public education and awareness of the disorder and to support people with Parkinson’s and their families.” There are nearly 100 WPA support and exercise groups throughout Wisconsin and neighboring states.   It is estimated that in Wisconsin, there are more than 20,000 people living with the Parkinson disease.

Proceeds from the Movers & Shakers Classic are used to promote awareness, education and research for the disease. Precision Plus sponsored a hole at the event.

July 18, 2015 – “Goombay Bash,” is a lively Caribbean-themed annual fundraising event organized by the H Foundation. Over the last 15 years, the event has raised over $6 million dollars in seed money benefiting basic science cancer research, which accelerates discoveries that can lead to cures. The money raised has resulted in over $35 million in additional research funding.

Precision Plus has long supported this event taking place at Chicago’s Navy Pier, and has extended a Big Kahuna sponsorship for the 2015 event.

July 31, 2015 –“ McGMO Charity Golf Event” at Delbrook Golf Course in Delavan, Wisconsin, was established in 1997 by Tim McGregor, Mike Grover, John Monroe, and Kim O’Keefe. Friends since high school in Delavan, each of them had been touched directly by cancer. But they did more than turn to each other for support and decided to raise money to help others fighting cancer by organizing a golf outing that would directly benefit a local hospital.

Proceeds of the event will help fund a new comprehensive Aurora Health Care Cancer Center serving western Racine and Walworth counties featuring a state-of-the-art Vince Lombardi Cancer Clinic. The first year, $9,000 was raised toward the purchase of blanket warmers. Donations have grown each year and now total more than $700,000 to date.

Precision Plus supports this event with a Double Eagle sponsorship.

August 1, 2015 – The 36th Annual Town of Delavan Fire Department & Rescue Squad’s Pork Roast and Dance is a greatly anticipated community event. Delavan’s Fire Department and Rescue Squad is a volunteer/on call team which provides services such as ALS emergency medical service, BLS emergency, medical service, firefighting, dive team, hazard material response, search and rescue, support, and vehicle rescue/extrication.

The event will take place at Township Community Park in Delavan, Wisconsin from 12pm until 11pm. Fun activities are planned throughout the day. Precision Plus is a proud supporter of the Delavan Fire Department and Rescue Squad.
