6th Annual Bill Grace Teddy Bear Motorcycle Ride

On Saturday July 28th the local chapter of the Red Knights Firefighters Motorcycle club in conjunction with the Dixie Star Riders in Conyers will be sponsoring the 6th annual Bill Grace Teddy Bear Motorcycle ride. The purpose of the ride is to raise money to buy Teddy Bears. These small stuffed animals are distributed to area Police, Fire and EMS agencies to give to children that been involved in a stressful situation such as an injury or illness. Many times this is just enough of a distraction to calm a child and allow public safety officials to properly care for the child.
