2. INTRODUCTION
 In 1991, Curtis Warfield received his BS from the

The Tour de Cure is a nationwide cycling event that

consists of bicycle rides in almost 80 cities in the United

full route support are provided at each event. The Tour de
Cure raises approximately $30 million a year for the ADA.

 Participants in the event help contribute to diabetes
research by fundraising beforehand. This may be done
through email solicitation campaigns, social media
marketing initiatives, or by personally connecting with
people. Participants may also ask their employers to
match the money they raise.
Tour de Cure cyclists are encouraged to participate in
teams. Team participation helps increase the visibility of
the Tour de Cure, raising awareness of diabetes.
Company teams may help foster employee unity and
morale, and larger companies may even participate in
national teams across multiple destinations. National
teams pledge to raise at least $100,000 in support of the
ADA.
