From a press release:

The 10-annual Hudson Valley Ride For Kids raised $156,319 Sunday, August 5 in upstate New York to go toward research to find the cause and cure of pediatric brain tumors. Hundreds of motorcyclists enjoyed a police-escorted ride from Harriman State Park to Piermont, New York. In Piermont, the group joined in a “Celebration of Life” where past and current brain tumor victims and survivors told success stories and expressed their appreciation.

The top fund-raising dealership was Prestige Harley-Davidson with $9771 donated. GWRRA NY-S got the top honors for donations by a club at $62,393. Ed and Brigitte Pugliese were the top individual fund raisers with $44,740.

The next Ride for Kids event will be August 19, 2001 in N. Oxford, MA. For additional information, contact the Ride for Kids at 800-253-6530 or visit www.ride4kids.org or www.pbtfus.org.
