Thank you for the best benefit motorcycle ride event yet! Eighty-seven participants enjoyed the beautiful weather, the great ride, and the tasty chicken lunch. They rocked to Cadillac Envy and participated in our raffle. Together, we raised $3,625 for the Deerfield Valley Food Pantry!!
Huge thank yous go out to Valley View Saloon, Catamount Environmental, Inc., and Gray Ghost Inn for sponsoring this year's event; Jessica Butterfield for designing the T-shirt graphic; Rev. Jim Littrell and Rev. Fr. Ilayaraja Amaladass, HGN for the Blessings of the Bikes; and the 44 individuals and businesses who donated raffle prizes.
This is one of our biggest annual fundraisers, and your support is greatly appreciated.
