Vroom, Vroom—Start Your Engines!
What do motorcycles and GCF have in common? The Cross Country Panzer
Motorcycle Rally!
Riding Panzer Motorcycles, Heidi Lauby and Kate O’Flynn set out
on a cross-country journey to advocate gynecologic health. During the
10,000-mile expedition, they will stop at Panzer Motorcycle dealers and
other places of interest to pass out brochures and hold rallies to raise
money. Stops have already included Chicago, Ill., Denver, Colo., Laughlin,
Nev., Memphis, Tenn., and San Bernardino, Calif. SGO/GCF members are attending
some of the rallies and making presentations about gynecologic cancers
to further increase awareness.
Panzer saw GCF as a perfect philanthropic fit, naming it the beneficiary
of the Rally for two reasons. For Panzer’s CEO, Christina Anastasia,
the impact of gynecologic cancer hit home. She was recently devastated
to learn that her mother was diagnosed with uterine cancer. On a lighter
note, Panzer’s unique design of its motorcycles offers a product
truly designed for women.
"So far, the events have been a terrific success," said Panzer
vice president of sales and marketing Tony Rigato. "We look forward
to a long and beneficial relationship because Panzer and GCF make a great
team."

their trip.
