This spectacular show of kindness and unity was not only limited to the occasion, with riders raising funds and awareness for eight weeks prior to the event, and a wildly successful DGR x The Rake x Rubinacci Charity Auction which took place in Milan and raised $51.5K USD. A trove of remarkable prizes have been offered to reward fundraisers, and some are still on offer for all fundraisers including brand new Triumph motorcycles, Zenith watches and Hedon helmets.
