The Ronald McDonald House of Kansas City keeps families together when they need it most. Every night, nearly 100 families are supported by this organization as children undergo treatment for illnesses. The Ronald McDonald House makes it possible for families to stay with one another during those trying times.

Thanks to both donations and volunteer work, this organization is able to help give people hope in a time when they need it. The Ronald McDonald House helps parents stay close to their child while they are at nearby medical facilities so they can continue to support their families. They’ve been helping make miracles happen for over 40 years, and we’re proud to help be a part in their mission.

This annual bike tour is a great way to get out and get active for a worthy cause! Riders participate and collect donations to S2R in their fight against cancer. Participants get to take part in a fun filled day of cycling and a post-ride party, all in the name of a great cause.

The group was founded by a group of friends to honor the memories of peers who fought against cancer. That has evolved into an exciting annual event where people get on their bikes and hit the trail in the name of raising awareness and funds to combat cancer. It’s a group with a great vision that we are proud to support and sponsor.
