June 1 2008 --
Corpus Christi, TX - The Corpus Christi Police Athletic League and Nueces County Children’s Advocacy Center benefited today, each receiving checks in the amount of $3,700 from net proceeds raised at the seventh annual Lou’s Saloon Charity Run held April 12, hosted by the Reguladores Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club, Corpus Christi Chapter. Gross revenue exceeded $10,000.
The fundraiser included a charity motorcycle run, delicious barbecue, live auction, door prizes, entertainment and much more.
Registration for the run began at Lou’s Saloon on Leopard and ended at Knuckleheads located at N. Upper Broadway following a 90 mile route, where the party and other activities continued into the evening.
“We appreciate the community’s support of this year’s event,” said James Robertson, president of the Reguladores LEMC-CC Chapter. “Fundraisers like this give motorcyclists an opportunity to help make Corpus Christi a better place to live by helping children at risk.”
CC-PAL and the NCCAC are local non-profits that provide services to at-risk children in Nueces County, respectively providing positive sporting activities with an emphasis on education, as well as working with Child Protective Services to support the children and their families who are the alleged victims of sexual assault, severe physical abuse or who have witnessed violent crimes.
“Last year we interviewed 1,725 children and provided services to over 3,300 victims. Thanks to the Reguladores and all the bike run participants, we will be able to continue to help these children and make a difference in their futures,” said Mindy Guajardo, Executive Director of the Nueces County Children's Advocacy Center.
Motorcyclists and participants in cars joined in the fun, helping raise money for local organizations that provide services to the children of Nueces County.
The Reguladores LEMC Corpus Christi Chapter, a 501(c )(3) non-profit organization, was founded for peace officers, their families and friends with no restrictions on motorcycle brands, sex, race, or religion. The Club’s goal is to generate an increased level of enthusiasm for riding motorcycles, while supporting other clubs, promoting safe activities and assisting non-profit organizations through fundraising or volunteerism.
