- Why was PaceDay 2024 canceled?
Due to Hurricane Helene and the resulting devastation across the CSRA, we made the difficult decision to ultimately cancel PaceDay 2024. - What happens to the funds I raised for 2024?
All funds raised will be donated to the Georgia Cancer Center to support innovative cancer research grants in early 2025. - Do I need to meet my fundraising minimum by the December 8th deadline?
No, we won’t enforce fundraising minimums for 2024. December 8th marks the end of the year's fundraising, allowing us to focus on the year ahead. - Are there any incentives for fundraising for PaceDay 2024?
Participants who reach their fundraising minimum or raise an additional $100 by December 8th will receive a discounted minimum for PaceDay 2025. - What happens to my donation page after December 8th?
All donation pages will close in December and reopen when you register for PaceDay 2025. - Can I attend the PaceDay 2024 Celebration if I didn’t meet my fundraising goal?
Yes! The celebration is open to everyone registered as a Rider, Paceline Pal, or Volunteer for PaceDay 2024 before the cancellation, regardless of fundraising status. - What is planned for the PaceDay 2024 Celebration?
This evening event will bring Paceliners together to celebrate our collective 2024 fundraising efforts, present annual awards, and share information about PaceDay 2025. - Are there other activities planned before PaceDay 2025?
Teams are encouraged to organize their own rides and activities to celebrate 2024. Rides can be anything from enjoying the Greeneway to a longer ride elsewhere, with Paceline supporting team captains in planning and promoting. Additional group rides and activities will be organized between now and PaceDay 2025. - When is PaceDay 2025? When will registration open?
PaceDay 2025 will be Sunday, October 5, 2025. Registration will open in March 2025. More information about the event format will be shared closer to registration opening. - How did the cancellation affect this year’s fundraising?
The hurricane and cancellation came during a crucial time in our fundraising, as a significant portion of donations typically come in the final two weeks leading up to PaceDay. As a result, upwards of $250,000 for cancer research was not realized for 2024. However, cancer doesn’t stop, and neither do we! Fundraising for 2024 will continue until December 8th.
