Hello, my name is Suchira Palit. I previously served as Director of Sales and Partnerships at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod, where I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the extraordinary impact the Center has on our community. Throughout my career—I’ve focused on building partnerships and driving growth for mission-driven organizations. My time at the Cultural Center was some of the most meaningful work I’ve done, and I’m proud to continue supporting its mission.
I’m now honored to serve on the Second Summer Cycle Board, where I help raise funds for 18 beneficiary organizations across Cape Cod. Being part of this effort allows me to continue giving back to the organizations and programs that strengthen our community.
Riding for the Cultural Center of Cape Cod directly supports the Learning and Education Department, funding arts education, mentoring, and workshops for youth and young adults at risk. Each year, more than 25,000 people across Cape Cod participate in the Center’s programs, and with your support, these opportunities will continue to expand and reach even more individuals.
I’ll be riding the 15-mile route and would love for you to join the Cultural Center’s team—either as a rider or a donor. This ride is truly for everyone, and every contribution makes a meaningful difference. Please consider riding with me or supporting this important cause.
