Thanks to Pelotonia’s major funding partners — AEP Foundation, Huntington, L Brands Foundation, and Peggy and Richard Santulli — every dollar raised by riders, virtual riders, volunteers and donors goes directly to cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).
As the monetary totals continue to rise, the impact of Pelotonia on the goal of ending cancer becomes ever greater. As this report will show, the money is allocated to seven major spending areas: our new Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology (PIIO), an Intramural Research Program (for faculty scientists), a Pelotonia Fellowship Program (for students), New Recruit Research, Instruments of Discovery, Statewide Initiatives (for cancer prevention) and Strategic Research Investments.
In addition to the Pelotonia funding partners, we want to thank the 7,484 riders, the more than 3,300 virtual riders and the over 3,000 volunteers who, along with countless donors and facilitators, made Pelotonia 2019 another big success. You’re all helping us pursue our shared vision of a cancer-free world.
