Saint Vincent’s Services (SVS) is holding its 19th Annual Motorcycle Run presented by Preferred Concrete Corp. Last year’s event drew in 200 riders and spectators and raised $20,000 for their community garden efforts, and this year’s event is on track to be even bigger!
Funds raised will assist with renovating and upgrading the on-site gymnasium used for physical education and therapeutic recreation by youth entrusted to the care of Saint Vincent’s Services congregate care placement programs (emergency and intermediate residential stays for youth with behavioral or complex clinical needs) and Behavioral Health Clinic. The renovated gym project will create a multi-purpose space with state-of-the-art fitness equipment and facilities to accommodate all ages and physical abilities. The project is projected to cost $200,000 and will better serve the physical and mental health needs of young individuals.
The Motorcycle Run will start rain or shine at Saint Vincent’s in Fall River, with kick-stands up promptly at 10:00 a.m. The Massachusetts State Police will escort riders along a 45-mile scenic ride as they travel through the back roads of Fall River, Assonet, Berkley, Lakeville, and Somerset and end with a BBQ reception at Saint Vincent’s Services.
Tickets for riders, passengers, and attendees are available on Saint Vincent’s Services website (www.SaintVincentsServices.org) or can be purchased on the morning of the Bike Run.
