OSWEGO — The annual ARISE and Ride for Ramps event will take place on June 3 at Lighthouse Lanes, 295 E Albany St. The event offers something for the whole family: a 5K walk/run, a motorcycle ride, music and great food.
The day will start at 9:30 a.m. with a 5K run/walk around the famous Oswego Speedway.
The motorcycles will depart at 10 a.m. for a ride through the north country. Riders will enjoy a journey through some of the most beautiful views Oswego County has to offer.
The day wouldn’t be complete without the barbecue at Lighthouse Lanes. There will be a choice of pulled pork or barbecue chicken. The event will once again offer a drive-up service later in the day for those attending the races that evening. Tickets for just the barbecue are available on the website. There will be activities for everyone in the family to do.
Funding raised through the event will be used for people in Oswego County who cannot afford a ramp or home accessibility modifications.
Support for this event makes it possible for people to remain at home and not be forced into a nursing home. It also means that people can come home from rehab or the hospital much more quickly.
ARISE and Ride for Ramps allows people with disabilities to return to their community and feel hopeful once again as they rejoin their families to live in dignity.
