CONGRATULATIONS and thank you Team Shell volunteers, sponsors, riders, and organizers for an outstanding year!  We proudly accepted five team awards at the 2009 MS150 Awards Party. 

1. Million Dollar Club Award - We are in the company of a few elite  teams who earned this prestigious recognition for raising more than one million dollars for the Lone Star Chapter of the MS Society over the last 8 years.

2. Top-Fundraiser Award - We finished in 6th place this year with $332,815.45, thanks in large to you. Please also pass on our appreciation to your sponsors who made this possible.

3. Gold Safety Award - We received this award for our bike safety leadership and for upholding a strict standard for riding safety throughout the training season and the MS150 Tour.  Special thanks to our safety trainers, ride marshals, and MS150 Safety Committee members for their leadership.  But more importantly, thanks to all of you for embracing and promoting safe riding.

4. Mission Possible Award - This award was presented to teams who have demonstrated strong commitment to the cause through fundraising and volunteerism.

5. Best Corporate Jersey Award - This was definitely the big surprise of the night!  Thank you Karee Kimbro and Lou Ann Beckmann for your creativity and support.

In addition, we were a top-3 finalist for the Green Team Award recognizing teams that demonstrate the greatest commitment to the environment: recycling, carpooling, etc.
