FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ABATE of South Carolina - Horry County Chapter making a difference for our troops Myrtle Beach, SC -- Sept 4, 2006 ABATE of South Carolina - Horry County Chapter is focused on raising money for Operation Helmet in conjunction with Rolling Thunder South Carolina Chapter 3 and the Vietnam Veterans Association. On Saturday, September 9, 2006, ABATE of South Carolina - Horry County Chapter is co-sponsoring the Rolling Thunder South Carolina Chapter 3 and Vietnam Veterans Association benefit motorcycle ride to raise money for Operation Helmet. The money raised will be used to buy combat helmet upgrade kits for our troops in harms way. Operation Helmet is a nonpartisan, 501(c) 3 charitable, grassroots effort that provides helmet upgrade kits free of charge to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Operation Helmet relies upon tax-deductible donations to purchase and provide lifesaving helmet liners to our troops. Lieutenant Governor Andre Bauer will be participating in this motorcycle event by leading the South Run. Riders are asked to make a $20 donation to participate. Bikers south of Myrtle Beach will meet at Beer-30 located at 810 Highway 17 South, Surfside Beach, SC between 10 and 11am for registration. Bikers north of Myrtle Beach should join the North Run by meeting at Beach Customs located at 11794 Hwy 90, Little River, SC for registration between 10 and 11am also.
