The Hedge Fund Association is sponsoring the AT&T USA Cycling Professional Criterium National Championship at the Glencoe Grand Prix, to be held on 14 August 2010 in the village of Glencoe, Illinois.
The race, a regional staple for 23 years, will support the Glencoe Educational Foundation, a non-profit organisation that seeks to enhance education in the Glencoe School District.
As an event sponsor, the HFA will have its own tent where food and refreshments will be offered all day.
A block party will follow the race.
"This event’s incredible popularity will allow the Hedge Fund Association and the Glencoe Education Foundation to draw attention to the issues plaguing today’s schools," says Jim Gabriele, HFA Midwest chapter director and managing director of Butterfield Fulcrum.
The Glencoe Grand Prix has established itself throughout the cycling community, earning the title of Illinois Race of the Year in 2008 and 2009. The event, which brings more than 15,000 visitors to the area, is a draw for the cycling community. Last year’s race had an estimated economic impact to the region of USD1.25m.
The Hedge Fund Association is a not-for-profit international group of practitioners and investors which aims to influence public policy and foster new opportunity throughout the hedge fund industry.
