Thank You 2010 participants
Thanks to tremendous community support and the participation of all the riders in the 2010 Tour, we
managed to raise $89,000 for the Center for Cancer Care Fund. We thank all the participants who
came out for the event this year and enjoyed the wonderful weather while helping those in the community who
are battling cancer. Please schedule now for the 2011 Tour of the Litchfield Hills which will take place
on
Sunday, August 7th, 2011.
The Mission of the Tour
The mission of the tour is to bring together community resources with the common goal of raising funds to support the care, treatment, education and prevention of cancer for residents living, working, or receiving treatment for cancer in Northwest Connecticut. By donating funds to The Center For Cancer Care Fund, Inc., we will have a positive effect locally, in the Northwest corner, as our friends and families battle the disease.
Please Note:
All activities begin and end at Coe Park in downtown Torrington (MAP). Registrations and start times for the different events occur between 6:00 and 10:15 am on August 1st. Please be aware of the time your event starts. If you are part of a team, please have your registration materials completed and submitted to your team captain beforehand. You will register at event check-in under your team name.
In 2009, The Tour hosted 1100 participants from all across the northeast and raised just over $90,000.00 in cash donations. All proceeds from The Tour of the Litchfield Hills support The Center For Cancer Care Fund, Inc.
