The event is organized by Glotman-Simpson Cycling, a Vancouver based cycling club dedicated to supporting the search to find a cure for Pancreatic Cancer. Over nine years, the event has raised over $2 million to date. This is the largest community fundraiser for the BC Cancer Foundation and largest annual fundraiser for pancreatic cancer across Canada.

Participating in the Cypress Challenge is a way for families and the community to help raise awareness and hope for those impacted by pancreatic cancer.
