Everyone knows about the devastating effects of Multiple Sclerosis is , so this past year the team at Pleasure Pools decided to do something about it by joining in the Louisiana MS Tour for Cure.

Pleasure Pools trained and participated in the 2010 “MS 150 Tour for Cure,” a 150 mile bike ride to help educate others and raise funds to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. “Team Pleasure Pools” consisted of eight members and had a team goal to raise $5,000 for the tour.
As preparation for the tour, the team trained for three months, riding 10 to 15 miles on weekends and after work when they could, and spent much time fund raising. “Team Pleasure Pools” was able to ride only half of the race due to bad weather, but they raided $4,655 and gained a new found knowledge of Multiple Sclerosis.
The whole tour experience built employee spirit, reminded the employees involved of the important things in life, and allowed Pleasure Pools to give back to their community. The company also earned the 2010 “Golden Giver” Award for Best Community Involvement from the Aquatech Pools organization.
The team enjoyed working together and looks forward to participating in future race!
