    Friends of Eldridge Children's Home FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/echbenefit?fref=ts
    Donations via paypal or checks (Payable to Eldridge Children's Home) link on the web page. http://www.eldridgetoyrun.com/

    We do have the Ron Melton Scholarship, beginning last year, we will take 5% of net and add to the Scholarship and do so until the Scholarship Fund reaches a cap total we have set. This is in part to have enough in reserve to meet Scholarship needs and each year we have donations designated for the Scholarship that may not get earmarked unless it is marked or noted on the donation.
    More information as I have it.... as always we are grateful for your support to the home and it's mission for the children.
    I will try to start a Facebook page in coming days, just for riders and for those that don’t read this forum.
    *** ONE change this year….we are asking to omit using gift cards from retail stores due to issues that may not give proper credit to the Home and you the giver.
    Checks are accepted.

            Hey everyone...this event is coming up this weekend! The weather looks really good (for December) and I hope you are making plans to ride up and support the kids. As usual there will be rides coming in from all points on the compass. There are a few of us Bham riders that are planing to depart from the at J & J Grocery at 7:45 sharp https://www.google.com/maps/place/J+...!4d-86.9817444
            in Bessemer on Saturday morning if you want to ride along. Thanks to Martin Benson for putting this together and I know he will have a great ride laid out for us to get there. If you can't make the ride from Bessemer and want to meet there at the home that will be fine too! The point is that this is a great time to ride and support this great home and its mission for these kids. Post here if you are going or have any questions. Let's see if we can fill that fish bowl with money!

            Ride safe and we'll see you there!

                      Looking forward to your arrival....the storms passed last night....we have some damage in the area...but all roads should be cleared TODAY.....

                      Ride safe and thanks for your continued support for ECH....this has become the biggest day in the lives of the kids and it's financial impact has certainly made the living conditions and operation of the home much easier thanks to you and others... good things happen when folks join hands for a common good.

                        looking forward to seeing everybody there. Glad the storms passed last night with not much damage there. Others were certainly not as fortunate. Looking forward to a great ride!
