By supporting the 2023 Paceline Ride, Queensborough National Bank and Trust raised nearly $13,000 to benefit the Georgia Cancer Center, according to the bank’s Paceline team, one of the race’s top fundraising teams.
The 2023 Paceline Ride, an Augusta-based organization striving towards curing cancer faster through an annual cycling fundraiser, has raised over $1 million for the Georgia Cancer Center since its inception in 2018.
“We are proud to have supported the 2023 Paceline Ride,” said Queensborough First Vice President, Regional Trust and Fiduciary Manager Troy Breitmann. “… I want to thank our Queensborough team, customers and friends who helped us raise these funds for a cause that is close to my heart.”
Breitmann, who has lost all but one of his grandparents to cancer and has seen his uncle, wife, mother, mother-in-law and aunt fight the disease, is one of the Queensborough team’s most dedicated members.
“The entire Queensborough family continues to show tremendous support for raising dollars to fund cancer research through the Paceline event,” Breitmann said.
In addition to Breitmann, the Queensborough Paceline teammates, representing several branch locations and services, include: Ken Austin, Clare Easterlin, Lars Frey, Dagan Sharpe, Andy Lawrence, Patrick Blume, Nick Buchanan, Barry Brooks, Rob Lamberts, Beth Lamberts Zach Brewer and Shelby Cannon.
“It wasn’t just the team members, there were so many great volunteers who put together a rider favorite rest stop tent and helped keep the event organized,” said Breitmann. “We are very pleased that we continued to receive support from our customers who have also joined the team and look forward to even more riders next year.”
