RIDE FOR THE SQUAD ‘Turning hurt, heartache into hope and education’

Dozens of bikers gathered at Aw Schucks Oyster Bar and Grill for the Third Annual Ride for the Squad motorcycle run to promote driving safety and raise scholarship funds in memory of three Wetumpka teens who were killed in 2014 after what was described as a head-on collision with Elmore County Sheriff’s Deputy James Bart Hart.

For its third year a local fundraiser has drawn bikers together for a run around Lake Martin to promote safe driving and a scholarship commemorating three 16-year-olds killed in a collision roughly three years ago.

Family of the Wetumpka High School juniors gathered in the parking lot of Aw Shucks, surrounded by dozens of motorcycles and their riders on Saturday for Ride for the Squad, an annual motorcycle ride, safety campaign and fundraiser to benefit the Dylan Bieber, Hoyt Hardin, Austin Augustine Scholarship Fund.
