Brandon Henkel Memorial Bike Build by Toyota LA Region

94 donors have contributed $43,660 to Toyota La Region ‘s $20,000 goal.

This campaign has ended.

Support us in honoring the memory of Brandon Henkel, a beloved member of the Toyota family, with a special bike build event. Born on June 4, 1982, Brandon's journey with Toyota began as an intern in June 2005. His dedication and hard work led to full-time positions over the next 18 years in the Toyota Los Angeles Region as a DSPM, Scion Field Manager, DM and various Staff Manager positions including Marketing, Distribution, and Vehicle Field Sales Manager. Brandon's passion for mountain biking was well known among his friends and colleagues. To celebrate his life and his love for biking, we are hosting a charity bike build event to provide local foster children with bicycles. This event not only honors Brandon's memory but also aims to bring the community together and promote the joy of biking that Brandon cherished. Thank you for your support and for allowing us to come together to celebrate Brandon’s life and passion, while making a positive impact in our community.

Oh, Brandon, we miss you! It's not the same here without your good morning laps, self-deprecating humor, and that infectious laugh. I'm praying for strength and comfort for your family and friends. May it be healing to know that hundreds of children will enjoy biking in memory of your passion and impact on us all. Ride in eternal peace, my friend.
