CF Cycle for Life - INO Cares

It was a beautiful morning! Although chilly and very windy, it was still a great day for a bike ride. We bundled up, broke out the spandex and jumped on our bicycles to participate in the Cystic Fibrosis Ride for Life at Herrington Harbour in North Beach, Maryland. Our November INO Cares project was a great success. We helped the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation raise over $40K and we had two newbie cyclists each finish a 20 and 40 mile race! Family and friends came to cheer on our riders and join us for a great after-party.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a fantastic organization that funds research in hopes of finding a cure to this fatal genetic disorder. Learn more about the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the nationwide Cycle For Life events.

A Salute To Powerful Women - INO Cares

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant."

In recognition of Women’s History Month, INO.com has made a donation on behalf of some wonderful, young women in our community that are passionately fundraising for organizations that are very important to them.

We salute their efforts, their hearts and their compassion to help make a difference one dollar at a time.
