Breakthrough Challenge

Donation Goal: $300,000

We raise funds to support breakthroughs in cancer research at Penn Medicine's Abramson Cancer Center (ACC). Founded in 2013, the Breakthrough Challenge unites patients, researchers, their families, and friends for a scenic and inspiring bike ride through Eastern PA's beautiful Oley Valley. To date, the Breakthrough Challenge has donated $2,825,000 to the ACC, funding 63 research projects. 100% of all participant-raised dollars are donated directly to cancer research.

Donations made by made online via credit card or Apple Pay.  Donations may also be mailed per the instructions below. Gifts of securities are also accepted.

Many employers offer matching donations for qualified not-for-profits. Please check with your employer for additional information on matching your donation.

Offline Donations

Offline donations maybe be made via mail or by a stock gift.

By Stock Transfer

The Breakthrough Challenge has established an account at Morgan Stanley to facilitate two specific gifting strategies: (1) Donation of appreciated securities & (2) Qualified Charitable Donations from retirement accounts. From a tax perspective, these may be superior to cash gifts. We strongly encourage donors to consult with their tax advisors about their specific situation.
