For ROMEO Gary Droege and his wife, Mary, a related passion is their support for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation through its Ride for Kids program. He and Mary are active as both fundraisers and volunteers. In fact, in 2010 the Droeges were the leading individual fundraisers, bringing in $6,740 for the cause.

The 2011 event is July 10. For information, visit www.pbtfus.org/rideforkids/events/2010/kansascity.html.
