VeloSano Victors

Cancer doesn’t stop.

Support from VeloSano Victors is the catalyst to turn an innovative research idea into an effective therapy or even a cure for patients with cancer now and in the future.

VeloSano Victors are individuals who give $100,000, or a $1M+ irrevocable estate gift, in support of a VeloSano Pilot Award. As a member of the VeloSano Victors Circle, individuals receive the opportunity to name one VeloSano Pilot Award, in memory of a loved one, in honor of a VeloSano “Bike to Cure” team, etc.
