328 miles. Cincinnati. Columbus. Cleveland. WHAT IS THE PAN OHIO HOPE RIDE? The Pan Ohio Hope Ride is a noncompetitive, one-, two-, or four-day multi-stage cycling event, starting at the American Cancer Society Musekamp Family Hope Lodge residence in Cincinnati and ending near the American Cancer Society Joseph S. and Jeannette M. Silber Hope Lodge residence in Cleveland. Participants can ride as an individual or as part of a team. Riders of all levels are encouraged to join. In 2017, the Pan Ohio Hope Ride raised more than $873,500 to save lives from cancer. Since it's inception in 2007, our unique statewide event has raised nearly $7 million. WHAT IS THE HOPE LODGE PROGRAM? The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge program provides free overnight lodging to cancer patients and their caregivers who have to travel far from home for treatment. The program allows guests to focus on the most important thing getting well without having to worry about where to stay or how to pay for it. We could never have afforded to stay in town while my husband was receiving treatment. Having a safe place to call home was a huge factor in how well my husband recovered. This caregiver tells how the Hope Lodge program provided peace of mind during her husband's treatment. More than just a place to stay, the program offers a home-like, nurturing environment where patients and their caregivers can find support among staff, volunteers, and other residents going through a similar experience. Ohio is home to two of 37 American Cancer Society Hope Lodge communities across the US. Your support of events like our Pan Ohio Hope Ride helps make these communities possible.
Partner with us to save lives from cancer. Why should you sponsor the Pan Ohio Hope Ride? CANCER AFFECTS EVERYONE. Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the US, accounting for nearly one of every four deaths. In the US, more than 1.6 million people were expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2017, and more than 600,920 people were expected to die from the disease.* In 2017, an estimated 68,180 Ohioans were expected to be diagnosed with cancer, and 25,430 residents are expected to die from the disease. *American Cancer Society Cancer Facts & Figures 2017. ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH A RESPECTED BRAND. The American Cancer Society is a highly trusted source for cancer information, having played a part in nearly every major cancer breakthrough in the last century. The American Cancer Society has 96 percent aided brand awareness among consumers.* *American Cancer Society Market Research: 2016 Brand Tracker. ACHIEVE MORE WITH THE PAN OHIO HOPE RIDE. In 2016, the two Ohio-based Hope Lodge communities (Cleveland and Cincinnati) provided more than 15,450 nights of free lodging, and with an additional 1,100+ free or reduced nights provided by our hotel partners, we saved Ohio patients and their families more than $2,490,000 in lodging costs. Funds raised through the Pan Ohio Hope Ride support critical American Cancer Society programs and services. Participation in this event also provides team-building opportunities and strengthens awareness of health and wellness. Participants come from every corner of the globe, including 26 US states and four countries. Riders are passionate about the American Cancer Society, creating a powerful co-branding opportunity. PROMOTE HEALTH AND WELLNESS THROUGH CYCLING. Cycling has quickly become one of the fastest-growing activities in the US and is the second most popular form of fitness. Living four hours from Cleveland, it would have been impossible to drive back and forth for treatment. The financial burden of staying in a hotel would have been unimaginable. I really don't know what we would have done without the opportunity to stay at Hope Lodge! Hope Lodge Guest
