Hearts for our Hospital Big Bike Challenge!


November 9, 2024

About

 

With a current fundraising target of $325,000, the Hearts for Our Hospital Big Bike Challenge is the single largest fundraising activity undertaken by our Club!  Working in close partnership with UF Health The Village® Hospital Auxiliary Foundation (UFHTVHAF), our club has an open ended commitment to UFHTVHAF in the pursuit of achieving the fundraising goal.  Through the completion of the 8th Annual Hearts for Our Hospital Big Bike Challenge in November 2023, we have raised $349,000, thus surpassing the fundraising goal of $325,000.  As the November event grows in popularity, so do the contributions from our sponsors and riders.  Congratulations!!!

The funds that are raised through the event are put to incredibly good use.  About half the money raised is used to support the capital acquisition plans of UFHTVHAF in their support of UF Health Spanish Plaines Hospital Auxiliary Foundation.  The other half is targeted to scholarships and tuition assistance for area students pursuing post-secondary educational opportunities in medical or allied health related fields.

Where do the funds go?
