The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride
The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride (DGR) isn't your average motorcycle rally. Founded in 2012, this unique event combines classic style with a charitable purpose.
Imagine hundreds of thousands of riders, dressed to the nines, cruising on vintage and classic motorcycles across the globe. That's the DGR experience.
"Uniting classic and vintage style motorcycle riders to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research and men's mental health."
This global phenomenon has grown from a small gathering to an international movement, raising over $37 million for men's health initiatives since its inception.
What Makes The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride Special
Breaking Stereotypes and Building Community
The DGR was born from a desire to challenge negative stereotypes about motorcyclists. Mark Hawwa envisioned a world where dapper style in classic bikes and classic attire, while fostering a sense of community among enthusiasts. Inspired by a photo of actor Jon Hamm in a suit on a classic motorcycle, Hawwa created a global phenomenon.
Riding for a Cause
The DGR isn't just about looking good and having fun. The event has a strong worthy cause, partnering with The Movember Foundation to address men's health issues like prostate cancer and mental health. In 2018 alone, the DGR raised over $6 million for these worthy causes.
