Celestial Seasonings® B Strong Ride Donates Proceeds From 6th Annual Cycling Fundraiser

"It is a great honor for Celestial Seasonings to contribute to outstanding organizations whose work aligns with our enduring mission to help people live healthier and happier lives," said David Ziegert, Celestial Seasonings General Manager and presenter of the check for $115,000 from B Strong Ride to Boulder Community Health Center for Integrative Care. "We value playing an active role in our community, and we're proud to be the title sponsor of B Strong Ride again this year. Through our continued support of B Strong, we're gratified to be supporting Boulder-area families affected by cancer." 

The Boulder Community Health Center for Integrative Care provides a wide range of services to cancer patients including acupuncture, manual lymph drainage, massage therapy and reflexology, Reiki and Healing Touch Massage, and wellness and integrative care consultation. These services improve clinical outcomes by enhancing wound healing, shortening hospital stays, and reducing pain medication needs, as well as lowering patient stress and anxiety. 

"With these funds we are able to support cancer patients by decreasing their pain and anxiety… helping them to achieve greater mindfulness and calmness through healing therapies, including massage, acupuncture and reiki," said Grant Besser, President of the Boulder Community Health Foundation.  "The donation from B Strong ride provides 100% of the funding the Foundation provides to support patients at the Center for Integrative Care."

B Strong Ride's donations of $30,000 to the George Karl Foundation and the Chauncey Billups Elite Basketball Academy were presented by Stephen Tebo of Tebo Properties and Scott Crouch, Owner of Flatiron Subaru – both sponsors of B Strong Ride. "I've been down this road twice," said former NBA head coach George Karl, a two-time cancer survivor who accepted the check on behalf of George Karl Foundation. "I can tell you the services we support through our partner organizations make a great difference in the lives of cancer patients and their families."

The 2017 Celestial Seasonings B Strong Ride presented by Subaru is scheduled for Saturday, August 12, 2017. For more information about B Strong, visit bstrongride.com or email [email protected].
