YMCA Scholarship ride rescheduled for Sunday
NORWICH – Sunday will be “Take Two” for the Second annual Norwich Family YMCA’s Open Door Scholarship Fund Ride. The event, sponsored jointly by the American Legion Riders from the Lt. Warren Eaton American Legion Post 189 in Norwich and the Norwich Fire Department’s Fire and Iron Motorcycle Club, was initially scheduled for last weekend, but inclement weather has prompted the organizers to set a rain date.
According to organizer Jerry Reyes, Sunday’s scattered showers weren’t enough to deter a few die-hard Y supporters. A small number of bikes “braved the elements” on Sept. 12 to raise money for the scholarship fund, he explained.
“Hopefully the weather will be better (this Sunday) and we will raise just as much if not more,” Reyes said, in a note he sent to those who participated in the ride.
Registration for the event will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 19 in front of the Norwich YMCA, 68-70 North Broad Street in Norwich. The cost to participate is $20 for each rider and $5 for each additional passenger. Coffee and doughnuts will be provided.
At noon, the bikers will depart on a scenic ride with stops at the American Legion posts in Sidney and Oneonta, followed by lunch at Gilligans in Sherburne before returning to the Y. Dice rolls will take place at each stop, and trophies and door prizes will be awarded following the ride.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the YMCA’s Open Door Scholarship Fund. Through the program, partial scholarship are awarded to youth, adults, seniors and families, enabling them to utilize the Y’s facility and services.According to YMCA Executive Director Jamey Mullen, over 600 people receive scholarships through the program on an annual basis.
“If you are a motorcycle rider and would like to help out a great cause, come join us at the YMCA Sunday,” Reyes said.
