QUINCY - Take a motorcycle ride throughout the Quincy Valley Saturday while raising money for upgrades for Quincy Valley Medical Center.
The first Cruisin' 4 Care Motorcycle Rally, sponsored by Chet's Honda Polaris and the Quincy Valley Medical Center Foundation, begins at 9 a.m. Saturday with riders meeting at Chet's on 17 H St. SW.
Participants will ride behind the hospital's float in the Farmer Consumer Awareness Day Parade then take off on a 100-mile ride through Ephrata and Soap Lake. The trip continues to Moses Lake with a break at Experience Powersport, then returning to the FCAD grounds at Quincy High School.
Proceeds from the ride will go toward the purchase of a new Ultrasound Machine, costing about $130,000, and radiology upgrade at the Quincy hospital.
The cost for each rider is $45 and includes a T-shirt, five raffle tickets and lunch from the Quincy Rotary.
A "passenger package" is also available for $20 but does not include the raffle tickets or a lunch ticket.
All participants must complete the registration form and event waiver, available on the hospital's website at www.quincyhospital.org. Participants can also pay online at the website.
