ANF Group's Tour de Broward Raises Money for Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital

On Sunday, February 14, the first annual ANF Group's Tour de Broward presented by zMotion, raised $250,000 toward the building of Broward County's only free-standing children's hospital.
Hosted by Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital at Miramar Regional Park, Zimmerman Advertising's Team zMotion had 75 riders participate in the ride (50K or 100K), run (5K), walk (3K) and spin that boasted 2,500 total participants and 200 volunteers.
The funds raised for the building campaign will go towards a new facility that will include pediatric cancer treatment, open-heart surgery and end-stage renal disease. Reggae-fusion singer and rapper Sean Kingston was on hand at the event, having pledged to raise $1 million for the construction. All donations of $5.00 or more received a Sean Kingston "Building for Tomorrow" wristband.
"The first annual Tour de Broward was a fantastic event. Lots of people came out to support a good cause despite the frigid temperatures, including riders, runners, walkers, volunteers, vendors and performers - everybody was a real trooper," said Pat Patregnani, founder of Team zMotion and President of Zimmerman Advertising. "It was especially great to have Sean Kingston's support before and during the event - he was lots of fun!"
