Another Great Ride For Kids Event

Despite a rainy ride, fundraisers turned in $81,194 in donations from more than 225 riders and supporters at the eighth annual St. Louis Ride for Kids, a 15 percent increase over 2008. All of the funds received benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

The top fundraisers were:
Individual: Brian Kissinger, $10,183
Chapter/Club: GWRRA MO-Z, $11,653
Motorcycle Business: Niehaus Cycle Sales, $14,258
Brian Kissinger also won the drawing for a new Honda motorcycle.

Big thanks went to the event's hardworking volunteers, led by Greg Hoette, Norm and Angie Riekena, John and Lorrie Lehmann, and Charlie and Shirley Barnett.
