Tarrytown, NY - June 6, 2006 -
Datacap announced
today that its second annual Cycle Faster for Cancer Research event has
raised almost twenty thousand dollars through pledges and sponsorships for the
Lance Armstrong Foundation. Datacap, AIIM and technology partners convened at
AIIM Expo 2006 for a unique fundraising campaign in which participants biked
and walked along the Schuylkill River through Philadelphia's Fairmount Park on
May 15th. Datacap also won a Best of Show award for
it's new Taskmaster Web Service for SOA.
During
the AIIM Expo, Datacap's booth was the scene of some exciting competition for
the benefit of the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Over thirty program sponsors and
AIIM attendees competed on a racing bike attached to a virtual trainer provided
by Philadelphia's Bicycle Therapy. Bicycle Therapy also provided two
professional racers to demonstrate and assist in the effort. Fred Broce of
GlaxoSmithKline won the grand prize, a Felt F4-C Bicycle.
Winners
of the Datacap booth time trials will have donations to LAF made in their
company's name.
