Things will look a bit different, however, the cause will be the same for the 12th annual Wade’s Ride Saturday morning.
The ride will launch from the Bowyer Community Building with in-person registration beginning at 9 am. The ride will launch between 9:30 am and 10:00 am and will be followed by a new 5K at 11 am.
There will also be a poker run and silent auction held during the event with all proceeds raised going towards providing Halo sleepsacks to every new baby born at Newman Regional Health and safe sleep cribs for every family at the annual Emporia Community Baby Shower. The annual ride is held in honor of the memory of Wade Barrett who sadly passed away before his first birthday due to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Organizer and mother of Wade Barrett Gail Barrett says the biggest component for the ride each year is providing information and education about SIDS.
In addition to silent auction items, raffle tickets will also be sold for an autographed Patrick Mahomes Chiefs helmet. Tickets will be available up until the Emporia Community Foundation’s annual Match Day in November.
Lunch will be provided and will include sandwiches, cookies, chips and a drink. Additional information and online registration can be found at Wadesride.Navrats.com.
