What we at Richland County A.B.A.T.E do is not accomplished by us alone. It takes many people, businesses, and organizations to make each event work. We do not want to take all the credit and want to express our gratitude to all.

Downed Rider Run 2017

We would like to thank everyone who attended the event on May 13, 2017. We would like to thank each and every member who helped with the planning and all the activities of the day. Without each of you these events would not be possible.

 

Our deepest gratitude goes out to the Olney Police Department and the two officers specifically that took time out of your day to escort the riders and vehicles out of town at the beginning of the ride.

 

We would also like to express our thanks to the Robinson Police Department for the officer that escorted us out of town after our stop there.

 

Rides are not possible without stops so we would like to thank the Olney VFW, The Hill located in St. Marie, MVP Happy Holler in Newton, The Main St. Pub in Robinson, Tykals' American Tavern in Lawrenceville, and The Port "The Place to Be" in Bridgeport.

 

Donations are a huge part of nonprofit events and without them auctions and raffles are not possible with that we would like to thank the following businesses and individuals. American Legion Post 30, Marilyn's Liquor Cabinet, RJI Noble Liquor, Travco Motorsports, Motomart, Wild Rose Boutique, Haerr Construction, Mabelzplace, Shear Country, Olney Sears, 92.9, Browns Furniture, Family Video, Biker Bible Church, Perfectly Posh consultant Jessica Vandyke, Damsel in Defense consultant Roxanna Behnke, Olney Wal-Mart Supercenter, Olney IGA, Mariah Williams & Jason Zollars, Liza Martin, Lisa Tomblinson, Mason Williams, Steve & Sherrill Simms, Debbie & Alan Gertsch, Rusty Tomblinson, Cassandra Kurpiel, and Billie Wilson.

 

No event is complete without food and we were lucky enough to have Kelly O'dell from Mabelzplace and Darin Pargin from the SAL cook us some amazing food. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

 

We would also like to thank Amoeba Press for designing and printing us some amazing shirts for this year’s ride.

 

Without each of these individuals, businesses, and organizations listed here none of what we do would be possible. So, it is with deepest gratitude that we say thank you for helping us make this day an immense success.
