At CRM Science we are committed to charitable causes in our community by contributing 1% of our time, profit, and product. One of our biggest passions is supporting the National MS Society, through our participation with the Salesforce & Friends Bike MS team.
In 2016 we had 8 team members travel to San Francisco for the Salesforce & Friends Bike MS Waves to Wine. After that amazing experience, we made a goal as a company to bring the excitement we had at Bike MS Waves to Wine to the East coast by creating a Salesforce & Friends team for Bike MS City to Shore. Our initial goal was to raise at least $15,000 with a team of 15 riders and we crushed it! On Saturday, September 23, 2017, our inaugural team cycled through the countryside of New Jersey on their way to Ocean City completing a total of 1,710 miles traveled, over $20,000 raised, with a team of 20 riders. We finished 2nd in the rookie team of the year recognition and had 2 riders in the Top 250 out of 6000+ riders for an event that is the #2 fundraiser in the world for MS.
Over the last 2 years, CRM Science has directly donated over $45,000 to the MS Society which accounts for well over 1% of our profit. Our total impact on the MS Society has been over $110,000 through direct donation, matching contributions and team participation and fundraising. We plan to continue into 2018 with another $25,000 direct donation to start the year and already have team members committed to riding again.
