The Ride For Roswell weekend begins with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, June 21. The second annual Ride Opening Ceremony will honor Roswell Park’s patients, survivors, caregivers, riders, volunteers and sponsors who make The Ride one of Western New York’s premiere fundraising events. It’ll be an inspiring evening of tribute, video, and live music followed by a day of riding to remember forever. The Ride Opening Ceremony is free for all riders, virtual riders, volunteers, Roswell Park employees, cancer survivors and patients.
On Ride day, more than 10,000 riders, volunteers and supporters are expected at the event. This year’s routes fall into three categories – Country Rides, River Rides and Family Rides (ranging from 3 to 104 miles) – all on Saturday. There’s also the Extra Mile Club Peloton Ride on Friday night from Roswell to UB for 200 top fundraisers.
Bring the entire family and share the spirit of volunteering for a great cause that touches so many people in our community. Families can volunteer together for many different jobs such as serving lunch, distributing T-shirts, cheering on riders, guiding riders along the routes or marshaling the rides. Or become a virtual rider and raise money without riding and celebrate with everyone all weekend. The Ride’s largest fundraiser last year was a virtual rider!
