Community Events

Our staff donates its time to help out the community. We have been working hard to make a difference, whether it is participating in a local event or being an active member of an organization. We would like to share with you all of our accomplishments.

Indianapolis Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees)

The Indianapolis chapter of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees) was created to help develop personal skills in our members, such as team building and leadership, through serving our community. The Jaycees offer the best opportunities for business development, career advancement, and community service to men and women 21 to 40 years of age.

The Indianapolis Jaycees provides an outlet for people to contribute their time, energy and skills to better themselves and the community in which they live.

Three members of the Promethius staff are actively involved in the Indianapolis Jaycees, and Becky also serves on its Board of Directors.

The American Diabetes Association
Tour de Cure - June 2006

The Tour de Cure is a series of cycling events held in over 80 cities nationwide. The Tour is a ride, not a race; it features different route lengths.

Denver and Katie Abernathy rode 25k on a route that started and ended at the race track of the Indianapolis 500.

They rode in honor of their niece, Shelby, who is 12 and was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in the fall of 2005.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Team in Training - Disney Marathon

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training® (TNT) is the world's largest endurance sports training program. They provide the coaching, training and even the travel opportunities to make athletic goals a reality.

In exchange for training and support, they ask to raise money toward cures for leukemia, the leading disease killer of children; Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the largest group of blood cancers; and myeloma, a nearly incurable cancer that particularly strikes the elderly and African Americans.

Denver Abernathy took part in the Disney Marathon, January 11, 2004. He ran in honor of Dennis Pyritz, a T-cell Prolymphotic Leukemia survivor. The Disney Marathon is a 26.2 mile run.
