(Beaver County, PA) Over $6,000 was raised in net proceeds on Sunday afternoon from the annual “Run For McGuire”, a charity motorcycle ride fund raiser organized and sponsored by WBVP and WMBA. The beautiful sunny day was made even more spectacular by the sparkling chrome and colors, and the thunder of engines in the streets of Beaver County as around 150 participants lined up and drove the 60 plus mile course before enjoying a celebration picnic at shelter 18 in Brady’s Run Park. “When we got on a flat stretch of road, there were bikes as far as the eye could see in front of me.” remarked on participant at the picnic gathering after the ride. “It was Amazing”.
