You Can "Ride with the Heroes" August 30
Benefit for Grassroots and Critical Incident Stress Foundation
The Howard County Police Department and the Howard County Department of Fire & Rescue are hosting a motorcycle ride to benefit Grassroots Crisis Intervention Center and the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) on Sunday, August 30, starting at 9 a.m. at the Howard County Public Safety Training center in Marriottsville.
Sponsorship dollars will support ICISF’s efforts to provide stress management training to help first responders, members of the military and other individuals who have experienced a critical incident or natural disaster. The money will also support Grassroots, which provides suicide prevention, walk-in counseling, 24/7 crisis intervention and shelter for the homeless.
“Riding with the Heroes” will be a ceremonial police-escorted ride led by members of the military, veterans, police, fire and Emergency Medical Services personnel. It will include a scenic tour from Marriottsville through Frederick County, visiting three historic covered bridges along the way.
Donations of $25 per rider and $15 per passenger are suggested. Participants will receive a short sleeve t-shirt and lunch provided by Mission BBQ, the Hospitality Host of the event.
Sponsorships of $1,500-$250 are being sought. Visit www.RideWithTheHeroes.com to register for the event. For sponsorship information, contact John Newnan, 410-750-9500, ext. 107, jnewnan.icisf.org, or Major Ellsworth Jones, 410-313-2207, ejones@howardcountymd.gov.
