Neither can we!

There is no fundraising minimum, however we are encouraging each participant to set a personal goal of $100 or more to fight cancer.

VOLUNTEERS

Team Tony is looking for volunteers to help at our 7th Annual Gran Fondo Sarasota!  Volunteers are needed to help with registration/check in the morning of the event, breakfast, lunch, SAG stops and cleanup!  If you are interested in signing up to volunteer, please click on the link below or email [email protected].

Team Tony Cancer Foundation is looking for Gran Fondo Sarasota Sponsors!

Over the last 6 years, we have matched over 700 cancer fighters and caregivers in the Tri-County area with Team Tony Teammates and provided over $308,000 in medical financial assistance grants to help alleviate the financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis.

Of course none of this would be possible without the generous support of our community.  To continue our efforts in supporting those battling cancer, we invite you to partner with us in this year’s 7th Annual Gran Fondo Sarasota.  We invite you to review our individual sponsor levels and donation opportunities.  If you, or your business would like to partner with us on the 2024 Gran Fondo Sarasota, please contact our Team Tony Cancer Foundation office at [email protected] or by calling (941) 227-4404.  Thank you for  your time and consideration!
