It is with great anticipation and excitement to share with you that I'll be preparing for and participating in the 2021 Crush Challenge, a 37 mile bike ride through Napa.
I am honored to be riding for the deLeuze Family Charitable Foundation, an important organization that contributes to researching a cure for lymphoma. It’s been a privilege to work alongside Dr. Joseph Tuscano since moving to California 7 years ago. I’ll be riding with him this year, at least for a bit until he breaks away from the peloton!
Please consider donating to this incredible foundation.
Thank you so much,
Ben
Crush Challenge, hosted by the deLeuze Family Charitable Foundation and ZD Wines, is an unparalleled event in the Napa Valley, bringing together people from all over the country to join us in supporting our beneficiaries.
Experience the beauty of Napa Valley on a private cycling excursion (25- or 37-mile options) that will depart from Veterans Memorial Park in Yountville. Pass through vineyard-lined avenues, sharing the road with cycling pros and friends of Crush Challenge (previous pros: Freddie Rodriguez, Alison Tetrick, Alex Steida, Brent and Jamie Bookwalter, Levi Leipheimer, and Christian Vande Velde). Enjoy a “rest stop” at ZD Wines in Rutherford to imbibe in the barrel tasting and food bites.
Following the ride, indulge in the all-inclusive Food & Wine Marketplace with live music paired with delicious food and wine from Napa Valley restaurants and wineries to round out the afternoon.

Crush Challenge was established in 2014 as a way to showcase the best of Napa Valley while bringing awareness and funding to a select group of worthy charities.
We welcome you to join on August 26 to enjoy a harvest day in the beautiful Napa Valley while helping our deserving beneficiaries: UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Teen Center at Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley. 100% of our net proceeds will go to these charities.
The deLeuze Family Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization.
