World Cancer Day: Support the Ohio State Cancer Giving Challenge
| February 3, 2026
Kick off 2026 fundraising early with the Ohio State Cancer Giving Challenge from February 4-11!
February 4 is World Cancer Day, a moment to honor those touched by cancer and unite to improve the future of cancer care.
Pelotonia is proud to participate in the first-ever Ohio State Cancer Giving Challenge from today through February 11.
This campus-wide effort aims to accelerate cancer research and care at the OSUCCC – James. Consider supporting this campaign, which gives Pelotonia participants the opportunity to kick off their 2026 fundraising early before registration opens on March 4.
Your participation this week will help further our collective impact on Ending Cancer as 100% of every dollar raised will be directed to innovative cancer research at the OSUCCC – James.
Will you join the challenge?
To kick off your Pelotonia 2026 fundraising early before registration opens on March 4, we encourage participants to share their Pelotonia profile link with donors. This allows participants to fundraise at any point throughout the year (including now before 2026 registration opens). If you receive donations to your Pelotonia profile during this challenge, you will see those donations accounted for in your fundraising total once you register on or after March 4.
Follow these steps to start fundraising this week by sharing your profile with donors:
Sharing your unique profile link is the best way for donors to find and support you.
