9th Annual Bike Run Fundraiser for the Spark Center

The 2017 BSMC Buddy Run is right around the corner…to be held on Saturday, July 15! This SPARK Center fundraiser is a police-escorted, annual motorcycle run which begins and ends at SPARK. So polish that chrome, strap on your helmets and come ride, eat, and enjoy this great event!  Admission includes post-ride food and festivities. I attended last year to take photo’s and will be back again. It is amazing all the different bike clubs that came out in honor of Buddy and to support the Spark Center. John and Lila Tocci of Tocci Construction were the corporate sponsors and also were riders.  They have already signed up for this year!  If you can’t ride you can always make a donation. This is something you don’t want to miss!!! I am excited to see everyone, so if you ride, I hope to see you. If not come anyway to  enjoy the camaraderie, celebration and be prepared to be amazed!  Over 100 bikes all different & beautiful!
