The Muskingum Valley Red Cross is putting the word out; they’re looking for bikers for a new event taking place this Saturday.
It’s the first ever Ride for the Red sponsored by Neff Paving. The event is similar to a poker run with riders making four stops along the way.
The idea came from three employees who also work as firefighters and wanted to help the Red Cross.
It didn’t take much arm-twisting to get their boss involved.
“I’m proud of my guys to be involved in this. I kind of push people to be involved,” said Clint Berkfield. “You know being involved in the community.”
The Red Cross says it’s always great to see people get involved.
“It’s absolutely wonderful. It’s so nice to know that people in the community want to give back and we’re very proud they’ve chosen the Red Cross as a non profit.”
The race starts at the Zanesville Yacht Club at 9:30am and a flat screen television will be given away at the end of the day.
Cost of the ride is 15 dollars for riders and 10 dollars for passengers, which includes a meal.
