15th Annual Lamar Hunton Memorial Motorcycle Ride Slated

PAULDING COUNTY, GA – Paulding County Sheriff Gary Gulledge is hosting the 15th Annual Lamar Hunton Memorial Motorcycle Ride and 2nd Annual Jeep Show and Shine to benefit GA Sheriffs’ Youth Homes on Sept. 22. The motorcycle ride will begin registration at 8:30 a.m. and the Jeep Show and Shine registration will begin at 11 a.m. Lunch will be provided along with door prize drawings.

The purpose of the Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes is to provide the best possible full-time residential care for the dependent, neglected, abandoned and abused children of Georgia. The homes are not reform schools or correctional institutions. They are warm, caring and secure places for a child to live. The Youth Homes provide a secure future for Georgia’s needy and worthy children, to give them love, guidance, discipline and all the advantages that is every American child’s birthright.

The number of children at the Youth Homes this year has grown and expenses are up. The five campuses urgently need funding. The Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Homes, Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt child care agency. Your donation is not only tax deductible, but will help us give Georgia’s needy and worthy children a chance to have a normal and memorable childhood.
