Welcome Team Lilly!

Lilly has been a global leader in diabetes care since 1923, when we introduced the world's first commercial insulin. For 90 years, we have worked to meet the diverse needs of people with diabetes through research and collaboration, a broad and growing product portfolio and a continued commitment to providing real solutions—from medicines to support programs and more.

Lilly Diabetes is joining the American Diabetes Association (ADA) as a national sponsor of the 2013 Tour de Cure, the ADA's annual nationwide cycling event. This signature event, an important fundraiser for the ADA, attracts more than 60,000 riders across 44 states.



ALL EMPLOYEES ARE WELCOME

Lilly employees from throughout the company and across the United States are encouraged to form or join a team. Friends and family members of all ages are welcome to participate, too. The Tour de Cure provides a unique opportunity for us to:

  • Connect with each other, through a fun and healthy activity; and
  • Connect with the diabetes community, by supporting the ADA and the millions of people whose lives are affected by diabetes

Show your pride in your workgroup! Create a team name that includes "Lilly", your business unit, function or club name, and location such as:

  • Lilly Diabetes - Indianapolis
  • Lilly Cycling Club - Indianapolis
  • Lilly Finance - Indianapolis
  • Lilly Diabetes Sales - San Francisco

Please do not use any product names in your team name.

The Tour de Cure offers a variety of bike ride options, with routes for everyone—from kids and adults, beginning riders to seasoned cyclists.
