Waverley Oaks Athletic Club Raises $27K For Cancer Research

News release from Waverly Oaks Athletic Club.

WALTHAM, MA — Waverley Oaks Athletic Club is pleased to announce that it has raised over $27,300 for the American Cancer Society through its 10th annual Pedal to End Cancer initiative.

The 3-hour cycle event took place on Sunday, April 7th with dozens of riders and supporters collectively raising funds for the cause while honoring cancer survivors.

This year's fundraising total surpassed the previous record of $19,500, set last year. Since 2015, the annual event has brought in over $100k to help fund groundbreaking cancer research, critical patient care services, education, prevention initiatives, and much more.

“Cancer touches the lives of so many and being able to contribute in any way possible - from helping find a cure to supporting those going through the battle - is what keeps us inspired and focused on our goal,” says Heather Healy, Wellness Programs Director at Waverley Oaks Athletic Club. “This year’s goal was $20,000. As you can imagine, we were amazed and humbled by the outpouring of support from our staff and participants, and we can’t wait to see what next year brings.”

There is still an opportunity to donate through the end of the year. Click here to donate on Waverley Oaks’ official event page.
