VRA To Present Check to Support Siouxland Soldiers July 24
The Vulcan Riders Association invites the public to attend a check presentation to Support Siouxland Soldiers on Wednesday, July 24, 2019 at 4:30 p.m. at Support Siouxland Soldiers, 1551 Indian Hills Dr. Ste. 102 Sioux City, IA 51104.
Bikers from across the Country attended the 2019 East VRA Rally - Midwest River Fest which began on Monday, July 9 with a kick-off BBQ hosted by Support Siouxland Soldiers and Curly’s BBQ and ended with a Rally finale banquet at the Delta Hotel, South Sioux City on Thursday evening.
Throughout the week bikers participated in rides across the Siouxland area raising funds for Support Siouxland Soldiers. “Many of the Bikers are Veterans themselves and so this is an important cause to support. We chose Support Siouxland Soldiers because they are a great organization that provides a lot of support to the local military community. All of the funds raised at the VRA Rally will stay right here in Siouxland helping local Veterans.” Said Jeff Sukup, Chairman of the Riverfest Rally.
Support Siouxland Soldiers Director, Sarah Petersen said, “We are very grateful for the support of the VRA and all the partners who donated and volunteered. It’s fundraising events like these that allow us to continue our critical mission of supporting our Veterans, especially those who need us the most. We operate solely off the generous support of the Siouxland community and every donation has a significant impact."
