The Keystone State Ride (KSR) will be in September to raise funds for Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center. This six day van supported road bike tour averages 72 miles a day, and begins in Pittsburgh and finishes in Philadelphia after completing 400+ miles. Includes transportation from Philly to Pittsburgh, hotels, luggage transfers, and SAG van support.
Meals are expected to be paid for by the rider with the exception of the farewell dinner on our last night in Lancaster. Some breakfasts will be provided by the hotel. We are asking each rider to raise $2500. All participant raised funds are 100% tax deductible and will go directly to cancer research. We will set-up a fundraising page in May. Registration opens in April, and costs will depend on if you want a private room or if you will be sharing a room. The KSR culminates with the Breakthrough Challenge ride at the Daniel Boone Homestead where we celebrate the success of both fundraisers for cancer research.
"Dealing with cancer is like cycling up a steep hill. You just have to put it in a low gear and keep moving forward" - Dave Wellborn, four time cancer survivor.
The Keystone State Ride funds bold and innovative cancer research at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center. The Keystone State Ride donates 100% of participant-raised funds directly to innovative cancer research at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center, providing critical funding to achieve major breakthroughs in cancer therapeutics and care that will ultimately benefit cancer patients globally. The Keystone State Ride stages an annual event to fulfill this vital mission and further build community among its participants. The Keystone State Ride strives to encourage diversity and maintain an environment free from discrimination, where participants treat each other with respect, dignity, and courtesy.
The Keystone State Ride is affiliated with the Breakthrough Bike Challenge which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization registered in the United States of America under EIN 46-5471970 to benefit research at Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center (ACC). We’re proud to say that for every dollar donated to cancer research, the ACC is able to leverage an additional $9 from external grants toward that research. This is thanks to the support of the Breakthrough Challenge and the hard work of the ACC researchers.
