The NBC 30 Jim Calhoun Cancer Challenge Ride presented by CIGNA and the law firm of RisCassi & Davis is an annual statewide event of Coach Calhoun's to benefit The Carole and Ray Neag Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Connecticut Health Center and Coaches vs. Cancer, a program established in 1993 by the American Cancer Society. The ride is open to everyone who wants to join Coach Calhoun in the fight against cancer. There will be non-competitive rides of 10, 25 and 50 miles, with riders participating from across the Northeast. This fantastic day will culminate with a summer cook-out with live music from Steppin' Out. It is a day you won't want to miss!
Fundraising Requirements for all riders over the age of 18
The minimum fundraising requirement for each rider 18 years of age and older, regardless of whether you are on a team or not, is $400. Children between the ages of 14 to 17 can participate by paying the $30 registration fee with no fundraising requirements. Due to safety concerns, children under the age of 14 can not participate.
