Eli’s Ride for a Cure

3rd Annual Eli’s Ride for a Cure

May 16, 2026

Join us for the 3rd Annual Eli’s Ride for a Cure, a powerful community ride honoring Eli Seth Matthews and supporting the mission to find a cure for childhood leukemia.

After losing his 10-year-old son to leukemia, Eli’s father—a Desert Storm veteran—has dedicated his life to raising awareness and funding for childhood cancer research. This ride brings the community together to support a cause that no family should ever have to face.
