Tony's Auto Electric and JDS Laundromat are holding their 7th annual memorial ride this weekend.
The ride begins at 11 am Saturday from Tony's Auto Electric on 1st Avenue SW, with the ride making its way through Minnedosa and Shoal Lake before returning to Dauphin.
Organizer Tony Shewchuk says motorcycles are not the only vehicles that can take part in this ride.
"Vehicles or families that want to come out in their pickup for just an outing. We made this ride because my sister had cancer seven years ago. And we have been carrying this over for different people that have passed away over the years. This year it is for a friend of mine Kelly Kostiew, and I am making the ride for him."
The event also includes a 50/50 draw, and Shewchuk says proceeds from the draw will be given to the Dauphin Regional Health Centre.
"At first we were using it for the scanner. But then they asked us if they can put it towards chairs and whatever else they needed it for. So now we write a cheque out to them and they do what they want to do with it. We have probably raised around $15,000 since we have been doing this for the hospital."
Tickets are $10 each and you do not have to be participating in the ride in order to purchase a ticket.
They are available by calling 204-638-5372 or 204-672-0118.
The draw will be made Saturday during their stop in Shoal Lake.
