Scarlet Management Group Donates to Cancer Research

Yesterday evening was a beautiful summer evening, with temperatures hovering at about 75 degrees and the sun shining through scattered clouds. Several members of the SMG staff enjoyed that weather on the patio of EndZone for a fundraiser for cancer research called Pelotonia on the Patio. Rob, Lindsay, Sam and Ashley all attended this event and had a blast listening to their live music and meeting a ton of new people who all had the same goal- finding a cure for cancer.

Pelotonia is a grassroots organization that raises money to support cancer research through their annual bicycle ride. 100% of all funds raised for this event are donated to The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. Pelotonia on the Patio was a fundraising event to help registered riders, virtual riders and volunteers reach their fundraising goals. Riders are required to raise a certain amount money that is determined by how many miles they choose to ride.

We were definitely impressed with the amount of people who turned up to support this awesome cause, and we were very excited to be there to support it as well. We had the chance to meet with several of the riders and they shared their stories from previous races and who had inspired them to ride in the Pelotonia race. This year’s race will take place on the weekend of August 8th, 2014.
