This marks the seventh year The Bancorp has
supported the annual ride
The Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: TBBK) is proud to share the Company
will be supporting the Brotherhood Ride for the seventh consecutive
year. Beginning on August 21, 2021, the event will take riders from
Naples, FL to New York City, covering an average of 70-100 miles
per day over 22 days. At the conclusion of the trip, riders will be
attending a ceremony at FDNY Fire Station 10 commemorating those
who lost their lives due to the events of 9/11/2001 and will place
a wreath at the memorial. Through its Commercial Lending business,
The Bancorp provides a truck to the riders, helping transport
supplies on their 1700-mile journey.
This year’s event is dedicated to the remembrance of Florida’s
first responders who passed in the line of duty throughout 2020
while protecting their communities. Additionally, the ride will
honor the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and pay respect to the first
responders who have since died from illnesses stemming from their
service following that tragic day. All participants in the
Brotherhood Ride are firefighters, law enforcement officers, and
emergency medical personnel who ride to remember the service and
sacrifice of those who have passed, and to show continued support
to their families.
“Our annual support of the Brotherhood Ride and its founder,
Jeff Morse is based on our gratitude for first responders’
life-saving efforts throughout the year,” said Jeff Barron, MD,
Head of Leasing and National Sales, The Bancorp Commercial Fleet
Leasing.
The first Brotherhood Ride took place in 2008 to help raise
funds for the families of nine firefighters who lost their lives a
year prior in Charleston, SC. Jeff Morse, Founder and President of
the Brotherhood Ride, along with a volunteer team embarked on a
600-mile trip from Naples to Charleston, to provide the families of
the late heroes with financial and emotional support. Since then,
the Brotherhood Ride has honored heroes from 10 states and raised
over $500,000 for their families.
