'Leather Up For Cancer' raises $2,700 in Morley

Posted

We had 156 riders that went on the poker run and several others the Leather Up For Cancer Event in Morley.

It was great to see so many people throughout the community come together to raise money for such a great cause.

Through registration, donations, raffles, and 50/50 we were able to raise just over $2700. This puts us over the goal of $5,000 with the money from this run and the money raised from Beard Laws. With now having exceeded the $5,000 goal we will now be able to get larger televisions than the originally quoted.

There are so many people to thank so if I miss anyone I'm sorry.

A huge thank you goes out to Chuck Hollis. He came up with the idea one night in the shop and we nailed it. Thanks to his wife Vicky for helping and putting up with all of our "meetings".

Thanks to Cheryl McLear and John McLear for hosting at Chars Bar and doing all of the food and drinks. Thanks to Vicky Stebbins who helped them out at Chars as well.

Thanks to Jay Carter who helped assist with the blockers.

Thanks to the Cancer Center girls Shauna, Chelsi, Kay, and Ashley for helping do the registration and reaching out for donations.

Thanks to my Ken McLear, Julie McLear, Mike McLear, Gloria McLear, Warren McLear , and Sue McLear for assisting with the whole event as well.

Thanks to Brandon Kelley for assisting with the poker hands and helping get donations.

Thanks to the local radio stations and North Country Now for putting the word out about the event.

Last but not least thank you to all the riders and local businesses that donated to the cause it wouldn’t have been possible without everyone involved.
