The Al\u00e9o Foundation will now pass on the torch to Bonneville Industries, who will take over the event.<\/p>\n<p><b>In their own words:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a>\u201c<\/a>Getting to know and be around these student-athletes is hugely inspiring for me, as an entrepreneur, philanthropist and someone who likes to push physical limits. The collaboration between the Al\u00e9o Foundation and the Bonneville 808 Challenge is coming to an end, but I persevere in my conviction that we need to promote and celebrate healthy lifestyle choices. Our bursary recipients serve as an inspiration for our society.- Dany Bonneville.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>&#8211; Dany Bonneville, Founding President, Bonneville 808 Challenge, and Administrator, Al\u00e9o Foundation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of myself, our team of administrators and employees, and, most importantly, the hundreds of bursary recipients, I\u2019d like to thank the great philanthropist Dany Bonneville. Through his enthusiasm, his infectious ideas, his talent for persuasion, and his dedication, he was able to breathe new life into the Al\u00e9o Foundation through a sports event. Over a million dollars invested in young people over seven years reflects a major commitment to the health of our ecosystem, which combines sport and education as driving forces for excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><b>\u2013 Martin Lavigne, President, Al\u00e9o Foundation<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>About the Bonneville 808 Challenge<br \/>\n<\/b>The Bonneville 808 Challenge is a public cycling event benefitting the Al\u00e9o Foundation.
