Polyglass Partners with the Dolphin’s Challenge Cancer for the Seventh Year in a Row

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL – On Saturday, February 25th, 2023, Polyglass U.S.A., Inc., a leading manufacturer of roofing and waterproofing systems, partnered for the seventh year in a row with the Dolphin’s Challenge Cancer (DCC) annual cycling & 5K run/walk event at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.

The DCC is the largest fundraising event in the NFL and represents the most significant known philanthropic pledge in all professional sports. As a “Fighter Partner” sponsor, Polyglass U.S.A. Inc. Team contributed over $66,000 for innovative cancer research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. 103 Polyglass employees and their families & friends walked, ran, or biked as part of the charitable event. “I am so very proud to be part of a company where giving back is simply a part of our DNA,” said Scott Lelling, Polyglass Marketing Director. “In our 7th year partnering with the DCC, our entire Polyglass community has walked, run, and biked hundreds of miles and raised many thousands of dollars for a cause that is very dear to all of our hearts.”

Among our Polyglass Team of seventeen cyclists, one of them, Bernard Pierre, our Polyglass AP Analyst, completed the 100-mile ride and said, “Doing a century ride is a battle. It is tough, and it takes a lot. The only reason I was able to complete the ride was because of the support around me that pushed me and sometimes even pulled me to the finish line. Yes, the century ride was a battle, and those dealing with cancer are battling consistently daily. I hope that the little I could do was to support and push them to the goal of beating cancer”.

The DCC is dedicated to improving lives by financially supporting cancer research at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (SCCC). With the $10 million and counting raised at DCC XIII, the Dolphins have now raised more than $63 million of the $75 million commitment.

Polyglass is committed to giving back to the community and is proud to partner with and support local organizations. For more information on the DCC, visit https://dolphinscancerchallenge.com/.
