#DoingRight - Great Cycle Challenge
8,368.4 miles. $25,993 raised. We shattered goals, broke records, and went far beyond what we thought possible for kids’ fighting cancer.
What started as a goal to ride 5,500 miles and raise $15,500 for a cause close to our hearts turned into something much bigger. Every mile we rode and every dollar we raised pushed through challenges and inspired us to go beyond our limits. We kept these brave kids in our hearts and minds as we turned those pedals and climbed those hills.
This challenge was personal for so many of you, and the stories about why you joined the team spurred us to do more. Whether you joined for your own children, sisters, brothers, spouses, parents, cousins, or close friends, we thank you for your generosity and resilience.
From early morning spin sessions to lunchtime rides and after-work miles, it was a beautiful display of what happens when a team is stronger together. This team spirit was on full display across our global footprint—from Greenville and Round Rock to Hendersonville,
Tijuana and Montreal, our colleagues sweat together to not only fundraise but to raise awareness for kids’ cancer. (Check out the photos below to see how Hendersonville and Montreal rocked it!).
👏 Thank you for being part of something much bigger than any person, office or company.
We are truly #DoingRight!
Bringing joy to our customers
We want to share the words recognition that the Hendersonville site received for the work done at the Detroit City Warehouse.
"Thanks for being flexible on price, building to a schedule and sometimes holding production. This all leads the city being exclusively Current. 60,000 – 65,000 fixtures that were converted to LED ~10 years ago with Cree, Leotek and Cooper fixtures. Due to pre-mature failures (Leotek) and poor lumen maintenance (light output as the fixture ages) with Cooper and Cree,
the city chooses Current to replace the original fixtures. To date, we’ve replaced ~51,000 of the 60,000 – 65,000 fixtures. Note: the warehouse is all GE/Current product. All competitor fixtures have been displaced".
We thank to the Hendersonville team for the great work done with our customer in Detroit. #OutcomeDriven.

We would like to congratulate Alfredo López, our Sr. Production Manager in TJ, for securing first place and being crowned the tournament champion.
