Obliteride

Balloon Installations for Obliteride — Fred Hutch's Annual Cancer Fundraiser

Celebrating Every Rider Who Crosses the Finish Line

Obliteride is one of Seattle's most meaningful annual events — Fred Hutch Cancer Center's signature fundraising bicycle ride that takes place every August, winding through the streets of Seattle and ending with a celebration at Gasworks Park. Every rider who participates is pedaling toward a future without cancer, and the finish line moment deserves to feel like the triumph it is.

Confetë is proud to be part of Obliteride year after year. We create a large-scale photo-op installation at the finish line at Gasworks Park — a celebratory backdrop that welcomes riders across the finish line, gives supporters a moment to capture, and adds a visual exclamation point to an incredibly emotional and joyful event. We also create mini installations at rest stops along the route, giving riders a moment of color and celebration at each checkpoint throughout their journey.

This is one of our most meaningful recurring partnerships. Being part of an event that raises millions of dollars for cancer research — and getting to make riders feel celebrated at every stop along the way — is exactly the kind of work that matters.
