Good Afternoon,

On Friday evening, May 23rd from 6-9pm, there is a fund-raising buffet style spaghetti dinner at the Estero Elk's Lodge (3231 Coconut Rd) to benefit The Brotherhood Ride.  This event is to raise money for the families of the 9 firefighters killed in a warehouse fire in Charleston SC last June 18th.  Tickets for this event are $15.00/person and festivities that night will also include a silent auction. 

On Saturday May 24th, 20 public safety representatives from as far away as Texas and Ohio will come togther at the fire station at Veteran's Park at 9am to begin a 9-day cycling journey to Charleston.  The Ride will culminate in the presentation of funds raised at events like this over the last year to the families of these fallen firefighters.  This will encompass almost 600 miles and entails riding an average of 65 miles a day for each of the 9 days.  

Other fund raising opportunities are available if you want to help:

On Friday May 16 from 3pm-6pm, Bad Ass Coffee (1307 3rd St S) will be hosting The Dave Elliott Show.  During Dave's Show, he will be accepting in-person and call-in donations going towards The Brotherhood Ride.

On Monday May 19 from 6pm-close, the Uno's Chicago Grill (just west of Airport on Vanderbilt Beach Rd) will be donating 20% of your check to The Brotherhood Ride.
