Pelotonia

Pelotonia has ranked #10 on the 2024 U.S. Top 30 list of peer-to-peer fundraising programs published by the Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum! This news was announced at #P2PForum25 last week, and Pelotonia staff members were in attendance to celebrate this incredible honor made possible by the efforts of tens of thousands of people who make up the Pelotonia community. Pelotonia’s impact continues to grow because of peer-to-peer fundraising by passionate participants who reach out to their networks of friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues for donations. Thank you to every 2024 Pelotonia Rider, Volunteer, Challenger, donor, partner, and staff member who contributed to this achievement, furthering our mission of ending cancer!

Pelotonia Gift Processing Manager, Emily Delp, shares the impact of Donor Advised Funds with Chariot. A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) is a charitable investment that allows individuals to make tax-deductible contributions, which are then invested for tax-free growth and granted to nonprofit organizations over time. If you'd like to support Pelotonia through a DAF, follow these steps: ? Initiate an online donation to a participant, Peloton, or the Forward Fund ? Select “Pay with a Donor Advised Fund” as your payment method ? Choose your DAF from the available options in the DAF Pay tool, which will guide you to sign in or redirect you to your fund’s website ? Complete the steps provided and finalize your donation as usual Every donation brings us closer to our shared goal of Ending Cancer! https://lnkd.in/gXQf7Eit

O.A.R to Headline Pelotonia Opening Ceremony 2025 on August 1! Known for songs like “Shattered (Turn The Car Around)” and “That Was A Crazy Game of Poker,” O.A.R. is a multi-platinum-selling rock band who has repeatedly sold out legendary venues like Madison Square Garden. For more than 25 years, O.A.R. fans have enjoyed their free-flowing sound and exhilarating live shows. We are excited to bring their joyful energy to the Opening Ceremony stage for an unforgettable rock performance! O.A.R. has deep ties to Columbus as alumni of The Ohio State University, making this performance even more meaningful as 100% of funds raised by Pelotonia participants are directed to innovative cancer research at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital & Solove Research Institute. Opening Ceremony is open to Pelotonia 2025 Ride Weekend Riders, Gravel Day Riders and Trail Run/Hike participants, plus Volunteers or Challengers who have raised a minimum of $1,250 by July 31.
