Community Corner
Suicide Awareness and Prevention Charity hosted by Street Thunder Cats MC Tampa
This year is our 6th Annual Suicide
Awareness Ride. First, we would like to thank everyone that has attended
our charity benefit in the past. Last year we raised over $5K and since
2007 we have raised, with your help, nearly $25K. Our Suicide Awareness
Ride is on November 10th . The meet up spot for the ride is at club 92
off of Falkenberg and Hwy 92 in Tampa. The ride is open to cars and
bikes, independents, members and families. If you are not participating
in the ride, you can meet us where the ride will end which is at
Peabodys located at 15333 Amberly Dr. in Tampa at 2PM. We chose this
charity in 2007 because a dear friend of ours, Maggie Dennis, committed
suicide and we needed the knowledge of how to prevent this from
happening to other families. The Suncoast Yellow Ribbon Suicide
Prevention and Awareness Program recently fought for the reprisal of the
Presidential bill wherein the President of the United States will not
and does not send a letter to the families of service members who've
taken their own lives. This may sound small to the common person, but
for this organization and others like it, this is a huge step forward on
the road less taken which is the fight for suicide awareness and
prevention. What we need is maximum participation this year. We've been
able to slowly but gradually increase the funds that we generate for our
charity. Every year we want to take it to the next level. For those of
you that attended last year, you know we had a lot of nice giveaways.
This year we will have even more large giveaways including cruises. A
small donation of $15 will make a big impact for our charity, your
donation will include prepared food and drinks.
