Presented by:
The Beyond Design Bike Tour (BDBT) is an annual fundraising and networking event organized by the Eppstein Uhen Tennessen Foundation. Its primary aim is to raise funds for local charities within our community while fostering connections among partners, clients and friends. Commencing 21 years ago, the event serves as a weekday bike ride through the picturesque landscapes of Wisconsin.
The Eppstein Uhen Tennessen Foundation was established by EUA in 2007, commemorating our 100-year anniversary. Its core mission revolves around enhancing the quality of life for individuals in the communities where we reside and operate.
Each year, the BDBT garners funds through sponsorships and contributions, which are then allocated to support the Foundation and various local charities across communities where EUA maintains offices. Over its history, the BDBT has successfully raised more than $1 million for charitable causes.
This year’s event will once again take place at Embers of Tuscany (formerly Chivaree), traversing the country roads of Ixonia and neighboring areas. Riders of all skill levels are encouraged to join in, with support and rest stops conveniently positioned along the route. Participants can choose from routes spanning 20, 37 and 70 miles, ensuring inclusive opportunities for all.
We are so excited to announce that Logan's Heart and Smiles has been chosen as the designated charity for the BDBT 2026 ride.
Logan’s Heart and Smiles is a Madison based non-profit organization dedicated to improving homes and inspiring hope for children with disabilities across Wisconsin. They work to eliminate both the physical and social barriers, by making accessibility and safety upgrades through the Home Modification program and providing inclusion, connection and community through the Beyond the Build program.
We encourage you to learn more about their impactful work by visiting their website.

The THIRD ANNUAL St. Joseph 5k “Turkey Trot” Run/Walk will be held on November 26, 2026! Starting and finishing at the Margaret B. Upton Arboretum, this will be a wonderful way for families to gather, friends to reunite, and the community to strengthen – not to mention a guilt-free way to begin a day famous for indulging! Participants will run or walk past Silver Beach Pizza, Shadowland, the Carousel, and our Iconic beaches on the way to an energetic finish with music, refreshments, and awards. Our goal is simply to create an event that will become a tradition as so many other Thanksgiving Day races have become throughout Michigan.
Run and Creep 5k Run/Walk
On behalf of Renaissance Athletic Club, I would like to thank you for considering your support of our 3rd Annual Run and Creep 5K Run/Walk. All funds raised from registration fees and sponsorships will cover all race expenses and any funds left will be donated to Berrien County Cancer Services in St. Joseph. RAC has been a proud supporter of this organization for many years.
About The Organization:
The Berrien County Cancer Service (BCCS) has had the honor of caring for Southwest Michigan's cancer patients since 1948. We are a unique, skilled oncology nursing service that provides compassionate care for cancer patients and those with related illnesses in the comfort of their own homes. We are able to do this at no cost because of the generosity of our community; we are "neighbors helping neighbors" in a time when local cancer patients need our special care.
In addition to our nursing care services, we have an extensive loan closet of medical equipment and supplies that we offer at no cost, including nutritional supplements, wound management supplies, and incontinence products. We also have wigs, turbans, and caps and can provide breast cancer patients with special products. We also host an art program for children and families impacted by cancer.
Our services are available to all residents of Berrien County who have been diagnosed with cancer or a related illness by a licensed physician at any facility.
