Bath & Body Works is a major supporter of Pelotonia, contributing over $48 million to fund cancer research at OSUCCC – James since 2008.
In 2025, 570 associates are actively involved, and the company has hosted multiple fundraising events—pep rallies, auctions, and pop-up shops—to support Pelotonia’s mission.
Bath & Body Works may be known for iconic scents and self-care staples, but the brand is also making a powerful impact in the fight against cancer. As a proud supporter of Pelotonia—an organization dedicated to funding innovative cancer research—Bath & Body Works is showing up in a big way.
Founded in 2008, Pelotonia directs 100% of participant-raised funds to The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute.
“Pelotonia holds a special place in our hearts at Bath & Body Works. Cancer has touched the lives of so many in our community—our associates, our customers, our families. That’s why we ride, walk, and give: to honor those we love and to help fund the research that brings us closer to a cure,” said Rhoe Fields, Associate Vice President of Community Relations at Bath & Body Works. “We’re proud to be Pelotonia’s largest funding partner over the last 16 years, contributing over $48 million to this vital cause.”
In 2025 alone, 570 Bath & Body Works associates have signed up to support the mission—310 riders, 181 challengers and 79 volunteers. The brand has also hosted a variety of spirited events for its associates that support Pelotonia throughout the year, including a pep rally, a silent auction, an associate art auction and a pop-up shop, with all proceeds benefiting Pelotonia.
Bath & Body Works continues to prove that it’s more than just a fragrance brand—it’s a force for good.
