John Cooper rides in 2019 Pelotonia

We are so proud of John Cooper, AGM at The Seelbach Hilton, for completing his second Pelotonia! He completed 45 miles, raising over $1800 for cancer research! Founded in 2008, Pelotonia was established with the objective to fund life-saving cancer research. Pelotonia is a three-day experience that includes a weekend of cycling, entertainment, and volunteerism. Through its first ten rides, Pelotonia raised more than $195 million for cancer research.

Over the past eight years, Team Rockbridge has raised over $4.3 million for Pelotonia, including $1,100,000 in 2018 alone. We are just getting started, and our goal this year was even more ambitious.

Human nature drives us to support what we help create.  With this in mind, the team at Rockbridge has developed an event called Rock the Road (RTRX), an annual Leadership and Innovation experience held on the Thursday before Pelotonia. The idea behind RTRX was born from a recognition that in order to maximize our impact on Pelotonia, we needed to activate our personal and professional networks in a meaningful way.  RTRX provides this platform through inspiring, dynamic speakers during a powerful day of storytelling, and provides the audience with an opportunity to be immersed in provocative thinking while supporting cancer research.  100% of proceeds raised by RTRX go to benefit Pelotonia.
