Stichting Cross For The Crocus is a charity based in Oosterhout, the Netherlands, that organises an annual mountain bike and gravel cross event around Oosterhout and Dorst to raise money for cancer-related good causes. Entry fees and sponsorship income are passed on in full to local organisations working against cancer or supporting people living with the disease, including Centrum Poppys, Stichting Op den Alpe Rijen and KWF. Recipients are chosen by the board, and all work is carried out by volunteers. The foundation has the ANBI public-benefit status and has distributed around 199,000 euro across past editions. Besides the event, it runs a school project informing primary school pupils about cancer, a wish tree, and a monthly gesture of support for people affected by cancer.
