Team Borealis took its charity efforts to a new level this year in the 29th Annual Prouty Century Bike Ride & Challenge Walk. Our team of 74 individuals walked or rode more than 3000 miles and raised nearly $75,000- 3rd highest of over 400 teams. Team Borealis was also recognized as the first winner of the J. Brian Quinn Cup, a newly created prize given to the team affiliated with the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth that is most successful in raising funds. We would like to thank the portfolio executives, investors, friends and family who supported Team Borealis by riding, walking or generously contributing.

Overall, the Prouty raised a record $2.25 million to support the vital research work at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center's renown Norris Cotton Cancer Center. This money funds world-class research, state-of-the-art equipment, critical education programs, and innovative clinical trials that help save lives of cancer patients all over the world.

We're proud to have done our part and very much appreciate your help. As an early-stage venture capital firm, we work to help commercialize innovative technologies developed at Dartmouth College, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and other institutional research centers. We know that there is no better return on investment than making steps toward finding a cure for cancer. We are pleased to sponsor the Prouty and support the researchers at the Norris Cotton Cancer Center as they develop the next-generation of cancer diagnostics and therapies.

We look forward to the year ahead being equally successful for the Norris Cotton Center, the Prouty and Team Borealis. Start your training now!
