Steve Schleuder
On March 30, 2007, employees at Ricardo, Inc. donated money to cystinosis in exchange for wearing jeans to work. The company raised $500 for the Cystinsosis Research Network in honor of Steve Schleuder, age 18, with cystinosis.
Steve's dad, Carl, works for Ricardo, Inc. The company selects organizations to be the beneficiaries of charitable events based on requests from employees. Carl requested a "Jeans for a Cause" event in honor of Steve. Carl wrote a flier about Steve and cystinosis and included a photo. The flier was posted throughout Ricardo, Inc.
