10 Things About Anne Marbarger & Curebound
“If you do what you always did, you’ll get what you always got.”
Curebound is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, born out of the Padres Pedal the Cause. Curebound’s mission is to accelerate cures for cancer by funding collaborative research and clinical trials among San Diego’s top cancer research and treatment centers. Cancer is the #1 cause of death in San Diego and #2 cause of death in the United States. 1-in-3 of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime. With cancer diagnoses more prevalent than ever, the need for private funding is critical. Curebound’s CEO, Anne Marbarger, will build on the foundation established by Padres Pedal the Cause to help accelerate the development of sophisticated, individualized cancer treatments.

With past artists like the Rolling Stones, Don Felder, Aloe Blac and Billy Idol, you can be sure that the 2022 headline act will be a must-see event. The event will support collaborative cancer research providing funds to Rady Children’s Hospital, The Salk Institute, Sanford Burnham Prebys and Moores Cancer Center at University California at San Diego.
