pedal

Saturday, March 28th, 2026

It’s time to hop on a bike and make a difference! 💙 The fourth annual Pedal for a Purpose is happening March 28th from 7 AM to 12 PM, and we want YOU to be part of this incredible event supporting our Y Cancer Survivorship programs.

What is Pedal for a Purpose?

Here's how it works

  • Grab 5 friends, family, or colleagues for a day of fun and fitness. All team members will bike together for one hour during the event.
  • Don’t have a team? No problem! Sign up as an individual.
  • Choose your time slot and location (Dahl or Houser Y)
  • Set up your fundraising page and start spreading the word
  • Show up, have fun, and pedal for a purpose!

You don’t have to be a cyclist or even a Y member to join. Just bring your energy and passion for supporting cancer survivors in our community.

NEW this year

Join us for a Survivor Walk at 8 AM at both the Dahl and Houser Y locations. Cancer survivors are encouraged to bring family and friends to join them for a walk around the Y, to honor their journey with cancer. Members and non-members are encouraged to join. Light refreshments will be available after.
