Where your Group Health STP Registration Fee Goes

The Cascade Bicycle Club of Seattle produces Group Health STP with assistance from many friends, volunteers, community organizations and cycling clubs along the route. Group Health STP is the primary fundraiser for the Cascade Bicycle Club, and a major fundraiser for groups like Altrusa International, Portland Wheelmen, Spanaway Junior High, St. Helens High School Band, Gold Wing Touring Association, Centralia Chehalis Chamber of Commerce, and many more smaller church and community groups along the way.
