Ride For Kids Raises over $70,000

The seventh annual St. Louis Ride for Kids® raised $70,159 on a clear, crisp morning in Cottleville, Mo. St. Charles Community College hosted the 325 supporters, many of whom toured the area's lush green countryside with a police escort.

The top individual fundraisers were the David Piel Family of Troy, Mo., who brought $7,500. GWRRA MO-Z members raised $9,925 to make it the top club/chapter. They were closely followed by B.O.B. (Brian Ott’s Bikers), who brought $9,903. The top motorcycle business, with $12,670 in customer contributions, was Niehaus Cyles of Litchfield, Ill.
Sam Clary of Troy, Mo., won the grand prize, a new Honda motorcycle.
Many thanks went to the event's task force leaders, Greg Hoette, Norm and Angie Riekena, John and Lorrie Lehmann, and Charlie and Shirley Barnett. Along with a wonderful crew of volunteers, they gave the kids a day to remember.
