The Osaic Foundation champions inclusion at World TEAM Challenge: Valley of the Sun

Tomorrow, the Osaic Foundation will welcome athletes, veterans, volunteers, and supporters to Scottsdale for the 2026 World TEAM Challenge: Valley of the Sun.

The Osaic Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Osaic Inc. and one of the nation’s largest providers of wealth management solutions, will proudly welcome athletes, veterans, volunteers, and supporters tomorrow for the 2026 World TEAM Challenge: Valley of the Sun, an inclusive cycling event that brings together adaptive and able-bodied riders for a powerful day of community and connection.

On Saturday, January 31, 50 riders, including 19 adaptive riders, will depart from Osaic’s headquarters in Scottsdale and complete a 50-mile cycling challenge through the Sonoran Desert, finishing in Cave Creek, a town known for its scenic beauty and Western charm.

The weekend begins tonight with a Kickoff Reception on Friday, January 30, at the world-renowned Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, where participants and supporters will gather ahead of tomorrow’s ride.

“It’s an incredibly meaningful and humbling experience to support our veterans and adaptive athletes,” said Stacy O’Keeffe, President and Chair of the Osaic Foundation. “We’re deeply grateful to everyone from the Osaic community—including our affiliated financial advisors, employees, and Foundation team members—who come together to support this event. Sharing this journey alongside one another not only creates lasting relationships but also deepens our understanding of how we can better support the remarkable individuals who have served our country.”

“The support of The Osaic Foundation allows us to bring people of all abilities together,” said Jon Brideau, President & CEO of World TEAM. “This event is about resilience, inclusion, and the power of teamwork. Tomorrow’s ride is a reminder that sport can unite us, strengthen communities, and empower athletes to redefine what’s possible.”

Now in its third year, the World TEAM Challenge: Valley of the Sun continues to grow as a signature inclusive cycling event, showcasing World TEAM’s mission of creating opportunities for athletes of all abilities through sport.
