BUFFALO, N.Y., Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Thanks to the success of the 2022 event, where more than 200 riders crossed New York State by bike to support the fight to end cancer, Port X Logistics has signed on as presenting sponsor for the ninth annual Empire State Ride. The Empire State Ride takes hundreds of cyclists 500+ miles across New York State to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and clinical trials at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"Port X Logistics has been very fortunate to grow at a rapid pace in our five-year existence," says Brian Kempisty, founder of Port X Logistics. "This is why we're able to give back to our community, especially to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Empire State Ride. Cancer has touched the lives of everyone in some way or another, including many of the staff members at Port X Logistics. We are pleased to be donating $50,000 to the Empire State Ride and the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, and we wish all of the Empire State Ride riders a safe and fun journey."
"Port X Logistics is an organization that really cares about the Western New York community. Their support of Empire State Ride is the perfect example of that, and we're thrilled to have them on board for the second year in a row. Together, we look forward to making an even bigger impact in the fight to end cancer," said Terry Bourgeois, founder of Empire State Ride.
Registration for the weeklong event is now open with a reduced registration fee of $100 through the end of the year. Riders commit to raising $3,500 to benefit cutting-edge research and clinical trials at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
