Motorcycle benefit planned for May 10

By Staff

The CITY Program's Advisory Board is gearing up for the program's annual fundraiser, Kruzin' for Kids motorcycle run.
The event, which is scheduled for May 10, is in its sixth year.
"This fundraiser is to raise money to support the CITY Program in our community," Franklin County Juvenile Probation Officer Kevin Strickland
The money raised goes to fund trips for students who earn incentive points or for items in the incentive closet.
"We have taken our students to the McWane Center, fishing, out for pizza just to name a few trips," Strickland said.
The CITY Program, an education program for troubled youth, serves 60 to 65 students annually. All students are referred to the program by the court system. Students in the program either work on earning their GED or work toward re-entry into the public school system.
In 2007, 16 students from the CITY program earned their GED on their first try.
Registration for the ride will begin at 10 a.m. at Jonathon's Steakhouse in Russellville. There will be several stops on the ride. The last bike should be back in by 1 p.m. Door prize drawings will be held at 1:30 p.m.
"Prizes will be awarded for the highest and lowest total during the ride," Strickland said.
There is a $20 entry free for the event.
The advisory board met last week to begin working on sponsorships for the event, and to plan the other aspects of the event.
"We need as many people as possible to help us with this event by sponsoring, riding or just helping us plan it," Strickland said.
For more information on how to get involved and help support this event, contact Kevin Strickland at 332-8877.
