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 including the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. Norman deLeuze, one of the founders of ZD Wines, was an advocate of the non toxic treatment of diseases before passing away in 2007 from lymphoma. His legacy and relationship with the UC Davis Department of Oncology has inspired significant medical research and progress towards less toxic immune-based cancer therapeutics. We need your help to continue this wonderful research!
The cycling event will include a 37 mile route through Napa Valley that will depart from Veterans Memorial Park in Yountville. Thank you for your consideration to support the UC Davis Health Team!

Crush Challenge // October 9, 2021
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.
Experience the beauty of Napa Valley on a private cycling excursion (25- or 37-mile options) that will depart from Veterans Memorial Park in Yountville. Pass through vineyard-lined avenues, sharing the road with cycling pros and friends of Crush Challenge (previous pros: Freddie Rodriguez, Alison Tetrick, Alex Steida, Brent and Jamie Bookwalter, Levi Leipheimer, and Christian Vande Velde). 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 Marketplace 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.
The deLeuze Family Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
