Toyota of Scranton Helps to "Create More Birthdays"

Aug. 25, 2012 - PRLog -- Started four years ago, the Endure Bike Ride and Run is fundraising event aimed at “creating more birthdays.” The event also promotes cancer awareness. Toyota of Scranton has lent its support  for a number of years and was proud to be a part of the event again this year. The event began on Saturday, August 11 with a 5k and 10k run along the Susquehanna River. The runs were a new addition to the fundraising event this year and saw great participation.

On Sunday, August 12, Toyota of Scranton team members drove five vehicles to the starting line at the Wilkes University Henry Student Center. Our main mission was to drive along both the 36 and 62 mile bike trails providing aid to any rider who needed it. The rides began at 8:15am and continued through the afternoon until each participant arrived at the finish line safe and sound. Although there were a few detours to the course, due to downed power lines in the Kingston area, the ride was truly a success.
Our team members were honored to have been a part of this amazing event. “Personally, it was an extremely rewarding experience working with people who were so dedicated to the cause. The tireless efforts of the volunteers who helped organize and execute the event were priceless. I am looking forward to being a part of the event again next year”, stated General Sales Manager, Joe Ross.
