Comments from companies that participated last year:

“It is inspiring to see the tech community and their families come together in an effort to raise awareness for advancing science for cancer research. Collectively, by forming these partnerships in our community, we ensure that our fight against cancer is one that is strong and focused.”

“It’s great to have so much fun while participating in something that is so important to our community.

Every aspect of the Derby was fun, from building the cars to racing the cars the day of the event. Even the fundraising was a blast – it was easy knowing that the money was being put to use locally for such a great cause!”

Robert Bennett, Municipal Software (Driver)
