Closer to Free Ride
A Century Ride to Benefit New England’s Premier Cancer Center
Starting and Ending at the Yale Bowl
New Haven and Shoreline, CT
Yale New Haven Hospital wanted to get into the cycling event business and called on Eventage to partner in creating the first Closer to Free Ride in 2011. Now in its 10th year, CTF is Connecticut’s largest and best cycling event with five routes of 10, 25, 40, 65 and 100 miles. The Ride has become one of YNHH’s signature fundraising events and has grown to more than 2,000 riders. In addition to full logistics, we handle participant fundraising strategy, communications, social media, on-site ceremonies and video as well as all branding and copywriting for the event.
