Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Human Service Organizations, Human Services
Mission: Our mission is to provide funding for cancer research at siteman cancer center and st. Louis children's hospital through our annual cycling challenge. It is our hope that research funded by pedal the cause will ultimately lead to a cure for cancer.
Programs: Pedal the cause provides critical funding for cancer research at siteman cancer center and siteman kids at st. Louis children's hospital through an annual cycling challenge in st. Louis, missouri. Founded in 2010 with the bold model of using 100% of participant-raised funds to support world-class cancer research, pedal the cause has quickly become the gateway to curing cancer - all cancers, for everyone. In this period of diminished federal funding where support typically gets funneled to already proven concepts, many potential new ideas are not deemed eligible. Pedal the cause donations "seed" best-in-breed ideas at our beneficiaries to allow the cultivation of proof of concept and critical data. (see schedule o)within 5 years of investment, for every $1 pedal the cause donates to cancer research, an additional $7 is obtained (on average) in federal funding. These seeded projects often turn into groundbreaking results that lead to new treatments and cures, preventions, and early detection diagnostics. In 2017, over 3,500 riders, spinners, kids challengers and virtual riders participated in pedal the cause, supported by over 850 volunteers, whom together raised over $4 million for cancer research. In the past 8 years, pedal the cause has donated a cumulative $19. 8 million to fund this innovative cancer research, supporting 101 total research projects - 73 adult and 28 pediatric.
