Ride For Research nets over $4,000 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
The Second Annual Cat Country/St. Jude Ride for Research Motorcycle Ride was held Oct. 9 and raised a total of $4,005 to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.
More than 160 participants took advantage of sunny skies and temperatures near 80 degrees to ride in the event, which began at Harley-Davidson of Seaford and, after a two-hour ride across Delmarva, ended at Station 7 Restaurant in Laurel for an after-ride party.
All proceeds benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, the world's leading facility in the treatment of childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude freely shares all research and treatment with hospitals around the world, and no child is turned away regardless of a family's ability to pay.
Special thanks to the following sponsors and supporters: Sturgis Marine in Seaford; Little Caesar's Pizza in Seaford; Harley-Davidson of Seaford; Station 7 Restaurant in Laurel; Fager's Island in Ocean City, Md.; Pepsi Bottling Ventures of Salisbury, Md.; members of the Delaware State Police Motorcycle Unit; members of the Worcester County Sheriff's Office; Robinson's Family of Businesses; Value Carpet One in Salisbury; and St. Jude volunteers Jack Pavlat and Lynn Davis.
