Southern California "Bull Run" draws 200 Lamborghinis in support of men's health
Sant’Agata Bolognese/Santa Monica, CA, November 6, 2023 – This past Saturday, Nov 4, a record 200 Lamborghinis took to the roads of Southern California on a collection mission to raise awareness and funding for the world's leading charity changing the face of men’s health, Movember. Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Stephan Winkelmann, as well as Andrea Baldi, Chief Executive Officer Americas, led the drive of passionate fans and customers of all ages. 2023 marks the third consecutive year of partnership with the organization and this Bull Run is one of many taking place globally during the month of November.
The Lamborghini x Movember "Bull Run" began at the famed Santa Monica Pier, driving 32 miles through the Malibu canyons with a final destination of Calamigos Ranch in Malibu wine country, nestled in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains. Each Lamborghini was proudly decorated with the charity’s signature mustache symbol on the hood of the vehicle.
“It’s an honor to actively contribute to raising awareness and funds for Movember and promoting prevention for men’s health,” remarked Stephan Winkelmann. “This Southern California “Bull Run” saw the most Lamborghinis ever come together in the history of this region, and for such an important, vital cause that touches so many of us in different ways. With California as the leading market in the US, it was wonderful to witness such strong customer participation in this event.”
The money raised from the Lamborghini x Movember partnership will aid in the charity's mission of bringing awareness to important issues surrounding men's health, prostate cancer, testicular cancer and suicide. Donations to Movember can be made through Lamborghini's dedicated fundraising page through November 30.
“At the core of Movember, we believe that healthier men equal a healthier world. We’re proud of our partnership with Automobili Lamborghini and their commitment to raise awareness and funds for cancer research and mental health,” said Movember US Country Director, Timothy Gnaneswaran. “The Lamborghini x Movember “Bull Run” resonates with our value of having fun by doing good. We’re touched by all those who helped make it a success.”
