New Windsor, New York, June 31, 2009 – Amanda’s Army joined Pony Express M.C., Hudson Valley Chapter 3, and the Saturday Night Cruisers Car Club on a rare sunny and warm day, Sunday, June 28, 2009, raising $4000.00 in the fight against Juvenile Diabetes.
Moroney’s Cycle was the venue for the poker run start that ended at Orange County New York’s Thomas Bull Memorial Park with a bike/car show, music and barbeque.
"We continue to be blessed by people that don't even know us and yet are so willing to help Amanda's Army raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to find a cure for type 1 diabetes. After spending time with The Pony Express at the Poker Run, now when we see a motorcycle pass by we find ourselves smiling," said the Molloy family.
CROSSROADS CUSTOM RIDES at the invitation of the Saturday Night Cruisers Car Club, participated with The Marine Corps Tribute Bike and The Simon Kirke Signature Series, Gold Star Parents Edition, United States—United Kingdom Veterans Tribute Bike with Matching Southern Fried Guitar on display.
“The Marine Corps Tribute Bike and the US-UK Goldstar Parents Tribute Bike are never placed in competition,”
Amanda and her friends will be presenting the trophy to their school for display. CROSSROADS CUSTOM RIDES had previously named Amanda’s Army (JDRF) as one of the charitable organizations they support.
A special opportunity and treat for those joining the fight to find a cure was the Official AMANDA’S ARMY ROCKIN 4 THE CURE GUITAR that was donated by Amanda’s St. Thomas of Canterbury classmates and friends. The Sky Blue Slammer Guitar was made possible by the great support of Van Gelder Music Center in Monroe, New York. “The guitar auction was not previously announced to ensure that true supporters of Amanda’s Army received the guitar, not memorabilia collectors,”
Taz, of Saturday Night Cruisers Car Club took the guitar home from auction with a high bid of $260.00. The guitar bears the autographs of Amanda Molloy’s St. Thomas of Canterbury classmates and friends, Legendary Musician, Simon Kirke (FREE & BAD CO), Lawrence Tremblay, Sr., (CROSSROADS CUSTOM RIDES), Rock Icon, Caroline Purr, Hudson Valley Groove Man, Zeb Kandros (DEEP CHEMISTRY), Legendary Musician, Eric Bloom (BLUE OYSTER CULT) and Corinne Trang (AWARD WINNING CULINARY ARTS AUTHOR/CHEF)
