Hincapie brothers rally cyclists, help Polk County Community Foundation raise nearly $700,000 
Gran Fondo Hincapie’s 13th annual Greenville cycling event took place this past Saturday. Over 2,000 riders came together for a weekend of riding and fundraising. The event raised close to $700,000 for the Polk County Community Foundation.  “This year’s Gran Fondo Hincapie was a last-minute shift in focus, but it quickly became a full-scale fundraising effort,” said Rich Hincapie, President of Hincapie Events. “Once we decided to pivot, George, myself, and the whole family started reaching out to our networks. Seeing so many people come together for the fundraising events was incredible. Raising the amount we have so far is my proudest accomplishment in cycling.”
