Great Cycle Challenge got more and more popular within Zebra, and in 2018, Zebra not only had one of the biggest teams, but also committed to becoming a corporate partner of the event. Employees spread awareness in the office by posting fliers and even encouraging employees to use the stationary bicycles in the office gym to participate in the challenge.  

Todd Naughton, Vice President of Global Business Services and an avid cyclist himself, rode nearly 400 miles in 2021 – he teamed up with Bruce Henderson, a Learning Advisor at Zebra, to spread the word about Great Cycle Challenge within the company, creating a corporate team. 

“Great Cycle Challenge was the perfect combination of engagement between team members and corporate philanthropy,” Todd said. “It allowed us all to have a positive connection point, and our clients loved to see that we were able to do something for kids fighting cancer, even during a pandemic. We have team members and clients whose lives have been touched by cancer and this has been a special way to support them. It's been a fantastic experience.”

To date, the Zebra team of 453 riders has raised $190,579 over five years.
