The Society Pedals in Palm Beach

Featured image

Jump on board for the ride of a lifetime! On Thursday, February 29th, the Colony Hotel Palm Beach will host the sensational cycling scene. Pink Paradise, as the rosy establishment is known, will set the stage for an afternoon of pumping tunes and pedals in support of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center’s rare cancer research. Since 2007, the Cycle for Survival community has raised more than $366M for rare cancer research at MSK.



Muffie Potter Aston, President of The Society MSK knows first hand the benefits of research: “Our Society Cycle for Survival Palm Beach event is an important initiative which will raise funds on behalf of Memorial Sloan Kettering’s ‘rare cancers’ research. Additionally, the opportunity to have a presence and be engaged in Palm Beach is truly important as it highlights and creates awareness for the work of The Society of MSK in a new community, while raising funds for this important cause.”


Winter Luncheon Chairs Brent Neale Winston, Austen Cruz, Virginia W. Tomenson, Amory McAndrew, Alison Loehnis, Muffie Potter Aston, Kimberly Nemser, Laura Raider, Libby Fitzgerald, Lisa McCarthy, and Kamie Lightburn.

Which is why everyone is invited to join in this high-energy pool side event. Bikes, sips, nibbles, giggles, and surprises will take you on your way. Not a biker? No problem! Just sign up as a donor, any amount is appreciated, and join the squad to cheer the riders on to greatness.

I plan to do a little cycling and a lot of cheering for our enthusiastic team to go the distance for this important research.  I found pink paradise perfection in this collection of easy breezy frocks. Palm Beach day dressing must-haves — a great pair of wedges, sun hat, shades and a stylish tote to stash your riding gear.  And don’t forget your official Johnnie Brown hat for good luck!

Hilary has a long history with The Society as her mother, Nicole Limbocker (pictured below in pink), was a President and is currently on the nominating committee. “I am super excited to be taking part in the first Cycle for Survival Palm Beach Event. MSKCC is a hospital that I hold dear to my heart. And to be part of a fundraising event that benefits the fight against rare cancers is a win.
