A cross-country team of bicycle riders that will stop in Rochester next month is pedaling its way across the USA in support of Shriners Hospitals for Children.

The team will be in Rochester, on Sunday, June 11.

Cycling enthusiasts are riding along with the team for parts of the 45-day trek from the Pacific Ocean in southern California to the Statue of Liberty. Masonic Lodges and Shriners are hosting receptions along the path, as well.

Shriners Hospitals for Children is changing lives every day through innovative pediatric specialty care, world-class research, and outstanding medical education. Our healthcare system provides advanced care for children with orthopedic conditions, burns, spinal cord injuries, and cleft lip and palate. All care and services are provided regardless of the families' ability to pay.

Shriners Hospitals for Children is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and relies on the generosity of donors. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If you would like to ride along with the team or host any sort of a reception, please contact your local Masonic Lodge or a local Shriner.
