2011 Team Enbridge Photo - MS 150

Two members of the Energy Solutions International executive team, Mark Davis, VP of Product Management, and Eric Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer, rode as members of Team Enbridge in this year’s BP MS 150 fundraising event.

The BP MS 150 is a two-day fundraising cycling ride organized by the National MS Society, Lone Star. This ride is the largest event of its kind in North America. In 2012, the event is expected to raise more than $17 million for the MS Society in their efforts to develop better diagnostic tools, treatments and ultimately a cure for Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that affects more than 400,000 Americans.

Team Enbridge exceeded their goal for 2012 by raising more than $43,800 and donations are still coming in. To make a donation to the Team Enbridge effort, go HERE.

ESI congratulates Team Enbridge on their outstanding effort and thanks them for the opportunity to join with them in serving our communities together in this worthy cause.

The 2012 event was Davis’ 7th MS 150, and the 24th for Johnson, who also serves as a volunteer Ride Marshal for the event.
