In Livingston: 300-Mile Motorcycle Ride Will Benefit Homeless

LIVINGSTON, NJ — A group of motorcycle riders plan to leave Livingston on a 300-mile journey next month. Their goal? Raise funds to help homeless people.

According to Ira Sessler, he and other riders, including Livingston resident Andrew Kim, are organizing a “Motorcycle-A-Thon” to raise funds towards the purchase of socks for the homeless. Learn more about their effort or make a donation here.

Sessler said:

“On Nov. 7, I and others will ‘Ride The Sock’ as a fundraiser to deliver socks to the homeless this year. The ‘Sock’ is a 300-mile loop in the shape of a sock. This year we have partnered with Knock Knock Give A Sock. They have done great work in the past and their list of corporate sponsors is fantastic. Not everyone can Ride The Sock, but everyone can sponsor us and make a donation as we ride 300 miles to create awareness of the need for clean socks for the homeless. We ask everyone to please make an online donation to support our fundraiser. Donations are made directly to Knock Knock Give A Sock and you will receive a tax receipt via email.”
