ODW Logistics, a fast-growing national third-party (3PL) specializing in integrated logistics solutions today announced the company’s support of Pelotonia’s celebration of One Goal. On August 5 and 6, more than 6,500 riders are expected to participate in the celebration of 15 years of One Goal -- raising funding for innovative cancer research at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James).

“For the past six years, ODW Logistics has supported Pelotonia with inventory management, funding, and the transportation of bicycles for dedicated riders,” said John R.

This year’s fundraising efforts will continue through October 15.
