SAN DIEGO -- One of the finest events in America's Finest City rolled into Petco Park this weekend.
The "Padres Pedal the Cause," a two-day cycling event to raise money for cancer research, saw 1,500 participants and will raise around $2 million by the time the fundraising period is over at the end of the month.
"Just to sum it up, $2 million for research goes a long way," said Jay Indovino, the event's executive director. "It funds a lot of good ideas. ... We are really moving the ball forward, and we're getting a lot of these ideas up and running.
