We are proud to support the 2023 Paceline Ride, an Augusta-based organization that, since inception, has raised over 1 million dollars for the Georgia Cancer Center.
Paceline is a movement of communities and organizations striving toward a common goal of curing cancer faster. Throughout the year, Paceline brings communities and organizations together by inspiring them in different ways to fund innovative cancer research. Every October, they hold their signature event, "PaceDay," to celebrate these efforts together centered around a fun bike ride designed for all - a way to experience the southern countryside in safety with a finish-line party to share with loved ones.
Troy Breitmann, Queensborough First Vice President, Regional Trust and Fiduciary Manager, led the Queensborough team. Breitmann’s motivation to ride is personal. He lost all but one of his grandparents to cancer and has seen his uncle, wife, mother, mother-in-law and aunt fight the dreaded disease. As team captain, Breitmann led the team to raise nearly $13,000, placing Queensborough within the top ten of fundraising teams. Queensborough Paceline teammates include:
- Troy Breitmann, CFP®, CTFA, FVP, Regional Trust and Fiduciary Manager
- Ken Austin, Sylvania Market President
- Clare Easterlin, SPHR, SHRM-CP, AVP, Human Resources Operations Director

"The entire Queensborough family continues to show tremendous support for raising dollars to fund cancer research through the Paceline event. It wasn't just the team members, there were so many great volunteers who put together a rider favorite rest stop tent and helped keep the event organized. We are very pleased that we continued to receive support from our customers who have also joined the team and look forward to even more riders next year!” said Breitmann.
