Nu-Look Collision and Kevin Royston’s friends and family witnessed a huge success with their Ride for Royston benefit. The event included a group bicycle ride, dinner, silent auction and Nu-Look Collision’s Raffle for Royston, which raised more than $22,000 for the business’ lead metal technician.
Kevin Royston, who works at the Nu-Look Collision downtown Rochester shop, was riding his bicycle when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver in Rushville, N.Y., on June 5. He had to have the lower portion of his leg amputated as a result.
The event drew a huge outpouring of support for Kevin. There were 155 bicyclists that took part in the group benefit bicycle ride, and several others that attended the event and dinner. It was a day full of love and support for Kevin and for Heather Boyum, who was recently killed while bicycling.
Nu-Look Collision’s Raffle for Royston, along with additional donations, raised $22,445 for Kevin and his family. There were 79 raffle prizes given away at the event, which included a $1,000 cash prize from Nu-Look Collision, a $400 gift certificate to Prime Steakhouse donated from Nu-Look Collision, a 2012 7.3 Trek bicycle donated by Geneva Bicycle Center, and a $900 Snap-on Tools tool cart.
