A grassroots bike tour with one goal: to end cancer.
Limited Brands is one of three major sponsors that have each committed $2.5 million over the next five years to support Pelotonia, and because of these gifts, Pelotonia is able to direct 100 percent of every dollar raised by riders directly to cancer research.
In 2011, nearly 4,100 Pelotonia participants all over the United States and Canada collectively raised more than $13 million for lifesaving cancer research. Limited Brands was proud to have more than 1,500 associates participate and raise over $4 million toward that effort. Pelotonia hopes to continue to increase both riders and dollars in an effort to reach its goal of raising $40 million over five years.
By getting involved with Pelotonia, Limited Brands is able to give back in a way that can ultimately benefit our global community by helping to end to cancer as we know it.
