Pelotonia 2024
Team Crawford Hoying | Brackett
At Crawford Hoying and Brackett, our halls are full of veteran and new riders, volunteers and all-around Pelotonia advocates who have dedicated themselves to this purpose-driven community. We are excited to participate in our fourth year of Pelotonia together as one company, one team, with one goal, because we understand that together we are unstoppable in the commitment to end cancer.
Cancer touches everyone and its impact is deep and personal in every experience. That's why the answer to "Why I Ride" is so important – because each individual story drives our compassion and solidarity in this cause. Throughout our company, we are honored to learn about and support these stories, as well as the people who are brave enough to share them with us and the Pelotonia community.
Why I Ride
Annissia Collins
Pelotonia Participant"2024 is my 4th year participating in Pelotonia. Though it's a new year, the goal is the same. I volunteer for my mother and in honor of my grandfather. I am continually inspired by the Pelotonia community and I am hopeful that we will end cancer in my lifetime."
Betsy Hoying
Pelotonia Participant"Since my ride ended last year, I've had two other acquaintances get diagnosed with cancer. I want to do my part and help to let them know they aren't alone as there are thousands of people riding and raising money for research and treatments to help make their prognosis even just a little bit better."
Jason Hartke
Pelotonia Participant"The energy at the starting line is incredible. After my first experience, I couldn't wait to get back. It's inspiring to see the number of people out supporting this amazing cause. I'm riding in memory of family and my close friend who have lost their battles with cancer."
Chris Wagner

Schedule of Events
Volunteer for Pelotonia
Volunteering is a great way to get involved if biking isn't your thing. Volunteers can register on the Pelotonia site with the Crawford Hoying team and sign up for a variety of duties, from helping pass out food to distributing rider bags and helping direct riders on Ride Day.
A group of Crawford Hoying employees has signed up to volunteer at the staging area on Saturday, 8/3, at McFerson Commons. We greet riders as they enter the starting line while making sure they are in their correct assigned group. It's amazing to see the riders at the start of their journey and cheer them on their way.
There are countless volunteer opportunities available to support our team directly as well as earn funds for your Pelotonia fundraising. Crawford Hoying will donate $40 per volunteer session to your fundraising efforts (minimum of 2 hours worked), with a maximum of 5 sessions ($200). Volunteers are needed to lead training rides, sell tote bags during four of the Dublin Market at Bridge Park dates, volunteer during Fore!Fest, help support the Celebrity Bartender Event, and more! Feed the Kids hours will also count toward your fundraising efforts.
Contact Rachel Castrop at rcastrop@crawfordhoying.com if you are interested in volunteering for Crawford Hoying events, and contact Annissia Collins at acollins@crawfordhoying.com with questions about volunteering on Ride Day.
