There are just some customers out there that when we work with them, we can’t help but think, “Man. We really hit the jackpot with this partnership.” And that has nothing to do with the amount of product they order from us, and all to do with the positive relationship plus overall mutual understanding that helping local businesses/organizations spread their mission is what keeps our community healthy, helpFUL and thriving.
Nine13sports in one of those organizations to us. They’re friendly, they’re gracious, they’re ALWAYS willing to refer our services, and most importantly…they are working their tail ends off making a difference in our community. Check this out…
We think this part of their mission totally rocks: “In addition to individual betterment of health and fitness, our programs promote community, teamwork, and mutual respect for one another designed to foster a lasting impact.” Right on, you guys.
Executive Director, Tom Hanley, is a true leader and role model for the kids and adults alike. We are honored he took the time share what inspired his organization, and what he does to make sure they are touching more lives every day…
“Before Nine13, I was an elite cyclist who was fortunate to race both nationally and internationally. In June of 2010, I was a passenger on a bus that ran a red light and collided with another vehicle. In an instant, my life changed forever. My best friend was killed and I walked away with 2 broken vertebra and a brain injury and was fortunate to be alive. My cycling career was over and I was unsure of what I wanted to do next. As I recovered, I decided I wanted to create something to serve youth and bring the joy of bicycles to others, and that was the early catalyst for what became Nine13sports.”
