“We are thrilled to have an incredible lineup of restaurants and food and beverage partners supporting our mission to create a world without cancer,” said David Drier, executive director of Pedal the Cause. “Their support helps elevate our event to a genuine foodie experience, and we hope to attract those unfamiliar with our organization to Taste the Cause to eat, drink and build community with us. A huge thank you to our restaurant owners, chefs and food and beverage partners for their incredible generosity as we work together to fund the best and brightest ideas in cancer research.”

“Everyone’s been affected by cancer, whether it’s fighting the disease themselves or supporting someone they love with cancer,” says Gerard Craft, chef/owner of Niche Food Group. “It personally means a lot to me to be involved with Pedal the Cause because Siteman does such amazing work. Funding their research is so important and I am honored to help do my part.”
