On September 6th, a small (but mighty!) team from PMD participated in Tour de Teddi - a bike ride that raises money for Camp Good Days and Special Times Inc., which is a non-profit organization on a mission to raise awareness and funds for children and families battling the challenges of cancer and sickle cell anemia. We're so proud of the employees who raised $1,151.48 and battled the elements to cross the finish line for an amazing cause!
