Bikers, restaurant raise money for Holly Ridge

Dean Westcott, event coordinator of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) of Bremerton, recently presented Roxanne Bryson, executive director of Holly Ridge Center with a $15,500 check. The bikers donated registration proceeds from the Nineteenth Annual Bob Merriman Washington Governor’s Run, a motorcycle event held at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds.

Included is $3,500, which was donated by Buddy Bell, managing partner of the Outback Steakhouse. Bell and his staff donated proceeds from a gourmet dinner they served at Kitsap County Fairgrounds.

The money will go towards Infant Toddler Program, a division of Holly Ridge Center, which serves children with special needs, birth to 3. Infant Toddler sites are located in Bremerton, Port Orchard and Poulsbo.
