DRIVE COLUMBUS
One of the lead cars sponsored by Germain Automotive Partnership guiding riders to COLUMBUS, OH– their starting positions Pelotonia is a three-day experience that includes a weekend of cycling, entertainment and volunteerism. Each year, thousands of riders hop on their bikes to help raise money for Pelotonia in support of cancer research. Pelotonia’s operating expenses are covered by funding partners so that 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to fund research. As of August 25th, 2017, 8,022 riders and 282 Pelotons (teams) raised almost $17,000.000! Among these gracious participants and donors, we are proud to announce that a number of them are Columbus area auto dealers:
