7/21/13 - A motorcycle event next month will help raise scholarship funds to assist children whom have lost a parent that was active in the U.S. Armed Services. Michigan's Legacy Run Poker Run on Saturday, August 10th will benefit the American Legions Legacy Scholarship Fund. Chapter 419 in Pinckney is hosting a 100 mile ride that will encompass Livingston County and parts of Genesee and Oakland counties. According to the Legion's website, over 11,000 children have lost a parent since 9/11 and the numbers are growing and many are now becoming of age for higher education. The cost for the ride is $20 per biker and $10 per rider and ends with a Parking Lot Party at TAGS Sports Complex in Hartland Township where food, drinks, prizes and 50/50 raffles will take place. The Parking Lot Party coincides with the "Child Hunger Ends Here!" softball tournament and the cost is only $5 to get in with those proceeds being split between Gleaners Community Food Bank and the Legacy Fund. For more information, call Gary Belleville at (734) 845-0179. (JK)
