St. Louis restaurants and retailers join forces to help create a world without cancer

A World Without Cancer Day is an opportunity for the entire St. Louis community to join the movement to end cancer. On Friday, August 1, participating restaurants and retailers will donate a portion of their sales to support Pedal the Cause in their efforts to fund innovative cancer research at Siteman Cancer Center and Siteman Kids at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

“Everyone’s been affected by cancer, whether it’s fighting the disease themselves or supporting someone they love with cancer. 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.”

Giving back and supporting cancer research is our way of doing something about it. Pedal the Cause is a St. Louis organization that is making real impact in the fight against cancer, and we are very proud to support them.”

“Fitz’s has been a proud supporter of Pedal the Cause since 2012. Funding cancer research is so critical, which is why we give back and why I personally ride every year. Pedal the Cause is a St. Louis organization that is making real impact in the fight against cancer, and we are very proud to partner with them for A World Without Cancer Day and beyond.”
