Team Banyan Rides 2010 Seagull Century
In an effort to support the fight against Leukemia & Lymphoma and several other caring and charitable causes, members of the Banyan team headed south to Salisbury University in Salisbury, MD to ride 100 miles (century ride) with over 8,000 other riders on a sunny October day. Team Banyan consisted of Bill Hartz, Brain Orsinger, Larry Cooney and Bob Graziano.
They were supported by their friends, family, and clients who gave so generously to the cause and several of whom traveled to MD to witness the event of the “century”. Everyone at Banyan is proud of their efforts and of their dedication to raising money for such noble causes. We look forward to seeing where they end up next!
