Past Events
Cold weather did not dampen the spirits of those attending the "3rd Annual Ride To Make A Difference", held on Saturday, November 13, 2004. Eight motorcycle cops from Hall & Forsyth counties in northern Georgia lead the way and closed down intersections in the ride through the gorgeous countryside. Upon returning from the ride, the bikers had great fun with the raffle and the silent and live auction.

T-shirts are still available for $5. If interested, please contact Pamela Swanson at the JCM Foundation. The foundation accepts cash, check or credit card (even American Express). Checks should be payable to the JCM Foundation.
