Hundreds Join 7th Annual Chicago Ride for Autism Speaks
On Sunday, October 11, hundreds of bikers, families, friends and supporters came together for the 7th Annual Ride for Autism Speaks in Chicago, Ill. Riders enjoyed a scenic 85 mile ride through the suburban countryside to raise much-needed funds for autism research and awareness. The 35 degree temperature didn't even faze this dedicated group!
The Ride began at Wildfire Harley-Davidson in Villa Park and ended in the Village of Addison with an after-party sponsored by JD Muggs Still ‘N Grill complete with barbeque and other refresments. The popular Big Eagle Band entertained the crowd and emceed the event. Stellar volunteers worked all day manning registration, distributing t-shirts, selling raffle tickets and much more. Raffle participants won great prizes including more than 10 leather jackets and dozens of other apparel items. One rider was the lucky winner of the 50/50 raffle – winning $1300!
As a result of the long hours spent by committee members and volunteers, the Ride for Autism Speaks Chicago has raised over $32,000 to date! Congratulations and thank you to the entire Chicagoland Ride for Autism Speaks Community on your incredible success!
