fundraising
it is more than an adventure
The Empire State Ride is more than an adventure across New York State – it’s the chance to advance cancer research from the seat of your bike. The funds our road warriors raise fuel life-saving cancer research that is changing the future.
Whether you’re riding in-person and trying to reach a fundraising minimum or tackling the 500+ Mile Challenge and raising what you can, our team is here to help you meet – and exceed – your goals, as well as provide the tools you need to be successful. You’ll be armed with an online fundraising dashboard, email templates and signatures, a way to integrate your fundraiser with Facebook, matching gifts, an app and more. Our team is still working on putting together certain resources and will have an update on them soon.

matching gifts
- Matching gifts are a great way to double your donation. Many employers offer programs that match employee’s charitable donations dollar for dollar so make sure to find out if your company has a matching gift program and ask your donors to check as well.
- If your company does participate, request a matching gift form, fill it out and mail it to:
Empire State Ride
Roswell Park Alliance Foundation
Elm & Carlton Streets
Buffalo, NY 14263 - Your matching contribution will be credited towards your fundraising goal once it has been received. Matching gifts can sometimes take three to four months to be processed by your employer.
- To find out if a company has a matching gifts program, review our matching gifts page. If you don’t find your employer’s name using the search function, contact your HR department to see if your company offers a matching gifts program.
