Ride For Kids Pittsburgh WHAT: Hundreds of motorcyclists riding together through the scenic Pennsylvania countryside in a visually stunning column, beginning at the Cranberry Township Home Depot and ending at Slippery Rock University. Their goal is to raise money for research into pediatric brain tumors, the deadliest type of childhood cancer.
The leisurely ride is escorted by local and state police. It will culminate with a Celebration of Life program featuring onstage interviews with local childhood brain tumor survivors and award presentations to top fundraising chapters/clubs, individuals and motorcycle businesses. Special Ride For Kids® premiums will be distributed, and there will be a drawing for the grand-prize—a brand-new Honda motorcycle! Enjoy coffee and doughnuts for breakfast and a light lunch at the end point, all at no charge.
Proceeds of the event benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation’s medical research grants and family support programs. The Ride for Kids® program has raised more than $38 million to find the cause of and cure for childhood brain tumors. Research supported by the PBTF has led to treatments that are extending the lives of children afflicted with brain tumors.
WHEN: Sunday, Aug 10, 2008
Registration starts at 8 a.m. and closes at 9:45 a.m.
Ride leaves at 10 a.m. sharp, rain or shine
WHERE: Home Depot
25 Dutilh Rd.
Cranberry Township, PA 16066
WHO: Local pediatric brain tumor patients, their parents, local and national organizers of the Ride for Kids® event, local doctors and/or medical researchers, and hundreds of participating motorcyclists will be available for interviews at the Celebration of Life closing ceremonies.
