Polyglass Partners with the Dolphin’s Challenge Cancer for the Seventh Year in a Row

On Saturday, February 25th, 2023, Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., a leading  manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems, partnered for the seventh year in a row with  the Dolphin’s Challenge Cancer (DCC) annual cycling & 5K run/walk event at the Hard Rock  Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The DCC is the largest fundraising event in the NFL and  represents the most significant known philanthropic pledge in all professional sports. As a “Fighter  Partner” sponsor, Polyglass U.S.A. Inc. Team contributed over $66,000 for innovative cancer  research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. 103 Polyglass employees and their families  & friends walked, ran, or biked as part of the charitable event. 

“I am so very proud to be part of a company where giving back is simply a part of our DNA,” said  Scott Lelling, Polyglass Marketing Director. “In our 7th year partnering with the DCC, our entire  Polyglass community has walked, run, and biked hundreds of miles and raised many thousands of  dollars for a cause that is very dear to all of our hearts.” 

Among our Polyglass Team of seventeen cyclists, one of them, Bernard Pierre, our Polyglass AP  Analyst, completed the 100-mile ride and said, “Doing a century ride is a battle. It is tough, and it  takes a lot. The only reason I was able to complete the ride was because of the support around me  that pushed me and sometimes even pulled me to the finish line. Yes, the century ride was a battle,  and those dealing with cancer are battling consistently daily. I hope that the little I could do was  to support and push them to the goal of beating cancer”. 

The DCC is dedicated to improving lives by financially supporting cancer research at the Sylvester  Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC). With the $10 million and counting raised at DCC XIII,  the Dolphins have now raised more than $63 million of the $75 million commitment. 

Polyglass is committed to giving back to the community and is proud to partner with and support  local organizations. For more information on the DCC, visit https://dolphinscancerchallenge.com/.
