Pedal The Cause
Celebrate World Without Cancer Day with CarShield and St. Louis’ own Fitz’s Root Beer as they join forces to support Pedal the Cause. Beginning August 2nd, you can enjoy the limited edition CarShield “Drive On” Root Beer exclusively at Fitz's locations in St. Louis, The Delmar Loop and South City.
Pedal the Cause provides funding for adult and pediatric cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center (ranked a top 10 cancer center nationally by U.S. News & World Report) and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital through an annual cycling challenge. With close to 4,000 fundraisers in 2023, they are proud to be a top-ten cause-related cycling event in the country and the St. Louis region’s largest peer-to-peer fundraising event. Since 2010, Pedal the Cause has donated over $45.8 million to fund cancer-curing research, cancer discovery grants and clinical translational medicine not currently eligible for federal funds. It is their hope that research funded by Pedal the Cause will ultimately lead to a cure for cancer – all cancers for all people.
100% of your gift will fund cancer research – every penny! But hurry, CarShield root beer will only be available until September 22nd or while supplies last. You can also give now by clicking the link below.
