Team Transplant is key part of Subaru Elephant Rock!

For the last seven years, the American Transplant Foundation and its team of enthusiastic cyclists have plied the courses of the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival around Castle Rock to raise money in support of their efforts to save lives by reducing the ever-growing list of people awaiting a life-saving transplant. Team Transplant, which includes transplant recipients, living donors and friends, families and supporters of the foundation’s work among its more than 90 riders, has raised nearly $500,000 for the foundation over those seven years. That amount is more than 90 percent of the organization’s fundraising goals.

 
“Team Transplant and the foundation are among our most enthusiastic riders every year,” Harris said. “They bring positive energy, a growing team of riders of all ages, awareness of an important cause, and an additional opportunity for us to give back to our community. We’re always thrilled to have them join us in Castle Rock.”

The Subaru Elephant Rock Cycle Festival will offer five course lengths June 5.

This year, the foundation is celebrating its 10th anniversary and once again Team Transplant will be a key part of the Subaru Elephant Rock Cycling Festival.

 
“This non-traditional, but incredibly effective way of fundraising is vital to supporting the American Transplant Foundation’s lifesaving programs, including our patient grants for living organ donors and transplant recipients,” said Erica Gundry, the foundation’s manager of programs and outreach. “Our riders give patients in Colorado and beyond the hope they need.”
