\"\"<\/a>Murdock\u2019s Bicycles and Sports in Oswego has donated a Soda Pop Kids Bike to ARISE in support of their annual ARISE &amp; Ride for Ramps event.<\/p>\n

ARISE is selling raffles tickets for the bike and will draw a winner at the Ride for Ramps event on Saturday, June 3,\u00a0at Lighthouse Lanes in the City of Oswego. The tickets are $2 a piece or\u00a0six for $10.<\/p>\n

The event offers something for the whole family and we want everyone to come out and join us: a 5K walk\/run, motorcycle ride, music and great food.<\/p>\n

The day will start at 9:30 a.m. with an exciting 5K run\/walk around the famous Oswego\u00a0Speedway.\u00a0The motorcycles will depart at 10 a.m. for a great ride through the north country. Riders will\u00a0enjoy a journey through some of the most beautiful views Oswego County has to offer.<\/p>\n

The day wouldn\u2019t be complete without the fantastic BBQ at Lighthouse Lanes. We will have a\u00a0choice of pulled pork or BBQ chicken. We will once again be offering a drive-up service later in the day for those attending the races that evening. Tickets for just the BBQ are available on our website. There will be activities for everyone in the family to do.<\/p>\n

This event provides a chance for the whole community to come together and shine as we take\u00a0care of neighbors in need. Funding raised through the event will be used for people in Oswego\u00a0County who cannot afford a ramp or home accessibility modifications.<\/p>\n

Your support for this event makes it possible for people to remain at home and not be forced\u00a0into a nursing home. It also means that people can come home from rehab or the hospital in a much quicker time frame. ARISE & Ride for Ramps allows people with disabilities to return to their community and feel hopeful once again as they rejoin their families to live in dignity.<\/p>\n

We hope that you\u2019ll share this day with us. Come be part of \u201cOUR\u201d family and in turn let\u2019s give\u00a0independence to our neighbors and their families. You can register at rideforramps.org.<\/p>\n
