In addition to the Princeton location, Tour de Cure events will also be held at over 70 locations around the country. An estimated 20,000 riders nationwide are expected to participate in the various local Tour de Cure rides in support of the nearly 16 million people in the United States with diabetes. We are pleased to help raise funds to fight diabetes, especially in the local communities where our employees live and work.
