Curebound, a San Diego-based philanthropic organization that raises and invests strategic funding in translational cancer research projects, will host its annual signature event, in partnership with the San Diego Padres, Padres Pedal the Cause, on Saturday, March 18 at Petco Park.
The community is invited to come together in the fight against cancer and celebrate 10 years of impact by raising awareness and funds for innovative cancer research in San Diego. Padres Pedal is gearing up to surpass $20 million in fundraising, making this year the biggest and best Padres Pedal yet. The event brings together upbeat spinning, cycling, and running/walking courses with many ways to get involved and participate:
- Participants can select from one of three cycling courses (25, 55, or 75 miles), all of which will take riders over the beautiful Coronado Bridge;
- Participants will also have the option to run or walk a scenic 5K course in downtown San Diego that finishes on the field at Petco Park;
- There is an option to join a rooftop spin class on top of the historic Western Metal Supply Co. building overlooking Petco Park and downtown San Diego. The spin classes will feature fun, inspirational rides from some of San Diego’s most popular instructors and high-energy music from a live DJ.
Attendees will be inspired by the energy and passion of the Padres Pedal community, which is made up of thousands of survivors, families and friends, doctors, scientists, children, and volunteers – all of whom are determined to see cures in their lifetime.
Every dollar raised from this event funds collaborative cancer research between Curebound’s six institutional research partners: Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, Salk Institute, Sanford Burnham Prebys, Rady Children’s Hospital, La Jolla Institute for Immunology, and Scripps Research.
Registration is open for all forms of participation. Sponsorship opportunities and corporate challenges are also available. To register for Padres Pedal the Cause, visit curebound.org/padrespedal. For more information about sponsorships and the corporate challenge, email [email protected].
