Donaldson’s Community Support Through Cycling and Fundraising

For more than twenty years, Donaldson has been a prominent corporate sponsor for the annual Bike MS150 event, one of the largest fundraising cycling series in the world. MS150 is a two-day, 150-mile bike ride across Minnesota which raises funds for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This fundraising aids multiple sclerosis research and patient support programs.

This year, Team Donaldson took first place for corporate teams, raising $212,007. The team was made up of 194 riders – both Donaldson employees and their family members – who rode 29,100 miles cumulatively. Donaldson also provided 43 volunteers during the two-day event who helped ensure MS150 riders were supported during their rest stops as they rode from St. Peter, Minnesota to Burnsville, Minnesota.

Since the company’s first ride with MS150 in 2002, Team Donaldson has raised more than $4.37 million, money raised predominantly by employees who also bike the 150 miles during the annual event.

Donaldson values giving back to the communities in which employees live and work by sharing time, resources, and talents to impact the world positively. Employees drive this impact through their personal giving and volunteering efforts. This culture of philanthropy and community support helps build strong, thriving communities.
