The Gran Fondo (the Great Ride) helps our friends, neighbors and loved ones who are fighting cancer. All funds raised stay local to benefit the Cancer Special Needs Fund of Providence St. Mary Foundation.

This fund provides our most vulnerable patients with gas cards, wigs, medication, rent and utility assistance and other supportive items not covered by insurance.

What’s included

Registration includes a run, walk or cycle event, lunch from a Wing and a Prayer Barbecue + Catering and a beverage from Burwood Brewing Company.

Use your Gran Fondo passport at neighboring businesses to enjoy fun promos and great deals. One lucky passport participant will win two round-trip airfare vouchers on Alaska Airlines. Passport details and partnering business information will be released August 2018. Wear any and all of the colors of cancer (the wilder, the better) to symbolize our purpose and celebrate survivors. Although the type of cancer that affects each of us may be different, we stand united to #FINISHCANCER.
