Worthington & Caron is thrilled to announce that it will again serve
as lead sponsor for the
3rd Annual “The Greatest Escape” Motorcycle Ride for Mesothelioma Research in Los Angeles. “The Greatest Escape” is inspired by actor
and motorcycle enthusiast Steve McQueen, whose vibrant life was cut short
by mesothelioma at the age of 50 on November 7, 1980. The Greatest Escape
is hosted by
The Pacific Mesothelioma Center (PMC) at the Pacific Heart, Lung & Blood Institute (PHLBI), with 100%
of proceeds supporting PMC’s much-needed research for a cure for
mesothelioma.
“The Greatest Escape” will take place on Sunday July 26, 2015.
Sign-in and day of event registration begins at 8:30 AM, with the ride
taking off at 10 AM from Glendale Harley-Davidson located at 3717 San
Fernando Rd in Glendale. Riders will cruise along scenic Angeles Crest
Highway led by this year’s celebrity grand marshal, actor/model
and motorcycle enthusiast Fabio Lanzoni. The ride will finish at the legendary
mountain-top roadhouse,
Newcomb’s Ranch.
Upon arriving at Newcomb’s ranch, riders can kick back in the shade
of the surrounding redwoods, enjoy a barbeque lunch, quench their thirst
with a cold craft beer and be entertained by the rock band Cherry &
the Bulldogs. There will also be raffle prizes and a live auction. K-Earth
101’s Morning Show host, Gary Bryan, will MC the event.
Registration for riders is $40, and $30 for passengers who pre-register
by July 25, 2015. Day of event registration is $45 for riders and $35
for passengers. Participants will receive a commemorative pin, bandanna,
and lunch. Non-riders are also welcome to join for $25 which covers lunch,
entertainment, and parking.
