Actor John Hensley and musician and artist Joe Hahn hosted a special event, Celeritas, to benefit Riders for Health. Bringing the Los Angeles area artist, entertainment, and motorcycle communities together, the Celeritas silent auction on July 11th raised $66,000 for our programs in Africa.
The event is a gallery exhibition featuring a body of work from local renowned artists who used elements from motorcycle racing culture as their medium. Guests bid on the artist designed helmets, a Suzuki Hyabusa motorcycle, and motorcycle leathers.

Scott Griffin, VP of Pirelli Motorcycle Tire North America, said, “This sponsorship is a natural fit for Pirelli, a company defined by passion. We have a proud and long history of working with artists, actors, and photographers to create Pirelli’s world-famous calendars, videos and other works art. Applying this passion for the benefit of Riders for Health doubles the importance of this creative exhibit and we applaud John and Joe for this incredible accomplishment.”

Sponsors: American Suzuki Corporation, Pirelli, Oakley, Alpinestars, Troy Lee Designs, and Red Bull.

Special guests: Shia LeBouf [imbd], Brad Delson, Deborah Kara Unger [imdb], Ioan Gruffudd [imdb], Garrett Kai, Mike Shinoda
