Third Annual Pink Pumpkin Pedal-Off to Benefit Breast Cancer Research at UF

The third annual Pink Pumpkin Pedal-Off will take place on October 4th at UF Health's Cancer & Genetics Research Complex, at the corner of Archer Road and Gale Lemerand Drive. 

To put on a successful bicycling event like this, we need: 

1. volunteers, able to help either before and/or on the day of the Pedal-Off, in these areas: on-site registration, supply pick-up, 3 rest stop crews, "goody bag" stuffing, food service (pre-ride breakfast and post-ride lunch; lunch provided by Chuy's Tex-Mex restaurant), distribution of "PPP" postcards and fliers to local businesses, medical offices, schools, etc.

2. sponsors: very important! Donations of cash from businesses and individuals help defray the cost of putting on the Pedal-Off, making a larger donation possible

3. recruiters: help us find volunteers among your friends, family members, and co-workers

4. cyclists: sign up to ride one of three possible distances at www.pinkpumpkinpedaloff.org or www.gccfla.org/pppo (with links on facebook)

5. for you to forward this email to friends, family members, and co-workers.....and anyone who has lost a loved one to breast cancer

If you can help with items 1 or 2, please contact Barb Thomas: bnbbarb@aol.com or 352 3774427.

All net proceeds from the Pink Pumpkin Pedal-off, a family-oriented community event -not a race- will be donated to the above research fund.

Businesses, organizations, and individuals donating to the event may have a name or logo on the specially designed "PPP" t shirts. If you would like more information about sponsorships, please contact me directly at bnbbarb@aol.com or 352 3774427.

Wear a "pink ribbon cycling jersey" to the Pedal-Off to further show your support of this community event benefiting local research. To date, proceeds from the sale of the jersey have contributed over $6,000 to breast cancer research. The jerseys have been sent to Australia, Israel, the UK, Canada, and much of the U.S.
