The eighth annual Iron Order Motorcycle Ride, which will benefit Advocates For Children’s Flowering Branch Children’s Shelter, will take place this weekend.

The event will be held Saturday, June 6, and will include activities, giveaways and the raffling of a Harley Davidson Road King.

All proceeds from the ride will fund summer activities for the children at Flowering Branch Children’s Shelter. The event will kick off at 9 a.m, at the shelter, which is at 49 Monroe Crossing in Cartersville.

Registration, along a complimentary breakfast, will start at 9 a.m. Kickstands will go up at 11 a.m., and riders embark on a roughly two-hour scenic ride throughout north Georgia.

The cost for bike riders to participate is $10 per person and $5 for passengers. Riders may register in advance at www.rideforthekids.org or they may register on the day of the event.

The ride will conclude at Southern Devil Harley-Davidson on U.S. 411 in Cartersville, where the celebration will continue and include food, music, adult beverages, a live auction, raffle and contests.

This year, a 2004 Harley Davidson Road King will be raffled off as the ultimate prize.

Raffle tickets are $20 each and may be purchased by contacting Advocates for Children at (770) 387-01143 or info@AdvoChild.org. They can also be purchased by contacting Freebird with the Iron Order Motorcycle Club at (706) 934-8948.

Last year, the ride raised $11,000 for summer activities at the shelter, some of which include bowling, a visit to Sky Zone, movie theater and the beach.

Bikers and non-bikers are encouraged to attend this event to help continue to provide safety, comfort and hope to the children of Bartow County and north Georgia.
