What: The Ride For Roswell will kick off its 2018 season tonight at Buffalo Riverworks. Registered 2018 riders, volunteers and those interested in getting involved in this year’s ride will gather to learn about what’s new for this year’s event, collect team recruitment and fundraising tools, meet with local vendors to get ready for Ride Day and have an opportunity to speak with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center President & CEO, Candace S. Johnson, PhD.

At the end of the evening, one lucky rider will win a $1,000 donation to their ride, courtesy of West Herr Automotive Group.
