I'm riding for a cause. I just registered to participate in Crush Challenge, hosted by the deLeuze Family Charitable Foundation and ZD Wines, which is an unparalleled event in the Napa Valley, bringing together people from all over the country to join us in supporting our beneficiaries: UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Teen Center at Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley. With the proceeds benefitting research for a non-toxic cure for cancer and the local youth, I am riding to make a difference. Please help me reach my fundraising goal and support me with a donation today.
I am excited to be a part of the ride and fundraising for the UC Davis Cancer Center. I was a lowly intern in 1990 and Dr. Joe Toscano was my resident, therefore, he knew a little more than me. Based on our mutual interests we struck up a great friendship. He has gone on to become a renowned professor in oncology, providing exemplary care for his patients, based on what I believe is his love of life.
I pursued a path in oncology based on what the team at UC Davis taught me and developed a fulfilling private oncology practice in San Francisco. I have cherished my time at UC Davis and my friendship with Joe. Although I am a better golfer, I don’t hold that as a fault of his.
I know that the early support I have received as a humble intern has helped me, and all I work with, provide the joy of life to patients with cancer to assist them on their journey. I am excited to support the deLeuze Family Foundation and the UC Davis Cancer Center.
With Gratitude, Bob Weber MD
Crush Challenge // August 26, 2023
Crush Challenge, hosted by the deLeuze Family Charitable Foundation and ZD Wines, is an unparalleled event in the Napa Valley, bringing together people from all over the country to join us in supporting our beneficiaries: UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Teen Center at Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley.
Experience the beauty of Napa Valley on a private cycling excursion (17-, 25-, or 37-mile options) that will depart from Veterans Memorial Park in Yountville. Enjoy a “rest stop” at ZD Wines in Rutherford to imbibe in the barrel tasting and food bites.
Following the ride, indulge in the all-inclusive Food & Wine Garden with live music paired with delicious food and wine from Napa Valley restaurants and wineries to round out the afternoon.
Crush Challenge was established in 2014 as a way to showcase the best of Napa Valley while bringing awareness and funding to a select group of worthy charities.
We welcome you to join on August 26 to enjoy a harvest day in the beautiful Napa Valley while helping our deserving beneficiaries: UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Teen Center at Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley. 100% of our net proceeds will go to these charities.
