Help “Save Second Base”

Phi Beta Psi Delta Chapter & Cicero American Legion Post 341 Riders join forces for cancer research

Delta Chapter, Arcadia, of Phi Beta Psi Sorority is teaming up again this summer with Cicero American Legion Post 341 Riders for a motorcycle run to benefit cancer research.

This motorcycle run is set for Saturday, Aug. 17, with registration ($20 rider) and breakfast from 8:30 to 10 a.m. and kickstands up at 10:30 a.m. at Cicero American Legion, 50 Washington Ave.

The Cicero American Legion Riders is a generous group with a heart for veterans and is an arm of Post 341. Their mission as Legion Riders is to raise awareness and support for veterans in need and to assist with non-veteran groups in the community. They are comprised of military vets, their spouses, daughters, and sons of U.S. military branches.

Delta Chapter is most appreciative of their willingness to help in working to benefit cancer research.

Phi Beta Psi is a national non-academic, philanthropic organization over 100 years old whose national project is cancer research. In fact, the Sorority just held its annual National Convention in Denver, Colo., and its delegates voted to give $446,100 to six cancer research doctors. Among those delegates was Delta’s own Suzanne Walton.

As the Riders return to the Legion from their run on Aug. 17, there will be tables set up with various bucket displays for participants to buy tickets to place in the buckets of choice. All bucket items will be awarded to the winning ticket holders before the event is declared over that day.
