Associated Bank: Incredible Bike Build

More than 130 senior leaders from our founding sponsor, Associated Bank, came together for their recent leadership offsite—a gathering focused on collaboration, learning, and giving back. As part of a team-building initiative, they built 25 bikes that have been generously donated to Audaxity, demonstrating Associated Bank’s deep commitment to creating a future without cancer.

“Associated Bank is a committed leader in the pursuit of ending cancer. Their leadership team demonstrated that commitment with this bike build. We are incredibly grateful for their spirit of generosity and enthusiasm for being a force for good.” —LB Bennett, Managing Director, Audaxity

Each bike has been carefully inspected by mechanics and are ready to ride. To expand participation in the event, the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) Cancer Center will distribute the bikes—along with helmets and free Cruiser Ride entries—to individuals and families affected by cancer.

Dr. Gustavo Leone, Cancer Center Director and Audaxity Co-Chair, reflected on the partnership with Associated Bank, noting that it was clear from the start they shared a common vision. He emphasized that this collaboration goes beyond fundraising—it’s about building unity and purpose within the community. He looks forward to riding alongside the Associated Bank team this summer.

Thank you, Associated Bank, for your generosity and partnership. Your support helps bring more riders to the starting line—and brings us all closer to ending cancer.
