GEICO "BIKES FOR TYKES"

John Costello

On October 7, 2006 GEICO Motorcycle hosted the first annual Bikes for Tykes Motorcycle Rally to benefit Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters. This was a fundraiser and a celebration of the lifesaving work the hospital accomplishes everyday. Although it was raining throughout southern Virginia, the short rain in Virginia Beach did not discourage over 3,000 attendees.
