(SAVANNAH, GA) The local chapter of the Red Knights International Firefighters Motorcycle Club announces that their annual Poker Run will be held Sunday, April 24 and will benefit the Lowcountry Down Syndrome Society (LDSS). Registration for the 2.5 hour motorcycle run will begin at 9:30 a.m. at Southern Biker Gear in Richmond Hill. Proceeds collected from the event will directly support LDSS.
LDSS is a family support group to benefit people with Down syndrome and their families through a variety of efforts. The Poker Run specifically benefits Camp Buddy, The Night of Champions, and the annual Buddy Walk.
