New incentive to join Team Buckeye

Pelotonia Ride Weekend is less than a month away, and now is the perfect time to rally around Pelotonia’s mission to end cancer.

As a thank you to anyone who registers for Team Buckeye – Ohio State’s official Pelotonia team – between July 7 and July 9, you can use the code in the instructions below to receive a registration discount, and Wexner Medical Center CEO John J. Warner, MD, will personally donate:

• $25 toward the fundraising of the next 50 challengers who sign up for Team Buckeye between July 7 and July 9

Pelotonia funds lifesaving cancer research at the OSUCCC – James, and you can help support that work by joining Team Buckeye. Read on for more details, and please reach out to Julie Kriss (julie.kriss@osumc.edu), the new director of Team Buckeye, if you have any questions.
