Starbucks and its partners from our local district stores will be volunteering to make "Marie's Ride For Life" a reality. Marie inspired this ride after her participation in the Susan G. Komen breast cancer motorcycle charity ride from Gettysburg to Ocean City, Md in June. Upon returning to Hanover from the emotionally moving event, she began working on a community based fundraising event, a local motorcycle fundraising ride to benefit the American Cancer Society. As the charity planning started, Marie learned at a doctor's appointment that she was suffering from late stage three bone cancer. As word of Marie's situation spread though the Starbuck's family and the many people she positively impacted, the "ride" started to take on a life of it's own. Some of our loyal customers who have committed to getting the word out are in the radio and print media. We are expecting an in depth human interest story in the Hanover Evening Sun as well as radio PSA..s on WARM 103. Texas Roadhouse has committed to donating 10% of the check totals of customers who present " Ride " invitations that can be picked up at the registration tables the day of the event. Join us Saturday, October 13, 2007 for Marie's Ride For Life. Registration: 7:00am - 8:30am at the Texas Roadhouse in N. Hanover Cost: $10/rider & $5/passenger Route: Scenic byway ride around historic Hanover & Gettysburg .......All proceeds to benefit the American Cancer Society...... * The Tamboureens!!! * Starbucks Coffee * Prizes!
