To cherish the memory of a fallen West Jefferson police officer and to raise proceeds for a trust fund for his children, friends of Tommy Beamer have organized a benefit motorcycle ride in his name for Sunday, July 11 at Warrensville Baptist Church

Registration for the 108-mile scenic ride will begin at noon at the Warrensville Baptist Church. Riders will take to the open highway at 1:30 p.m. when they will begin their journey up Highway 194 into Virginia as they ride through many small, quaint mountain communities including Sturgills, Rugby, Independence, and Delhart. Participants will also have the chance to catch a glimpse of the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains while navigating through the curvy roads and fresh air of the Grayson Highlands Park. The ride will later swing south into Sparta and Laurel Springs before leading riders through the Jeffersons and concluding at the same church where it began.

The event is sponsored by the Benefit for Tommy Committee and will also feature a silent auction. For more information on the ride or how to make donations, contact Roger Blevins at (828) 406-9977 or email Claudia Blevins at claudiamacd@skybest.com. You can also contact Warrensville Baptist Church at 384-3044.
