Kilgore, TX - The
third annual East Texas Burn Run netted $60,000 during its first foray in
Kilgore this fall.Sponsored by the
Brother’s Keepers Motorcycle Club, the fundraising event drew an estimated
2,500 people to Kilgore City Park – many on two wheels, many on four – for
food, riding challenges, vendors, games, live entertainment, classic vehicles
and more.The proceeds, co-organizer
Jimmy Kinsey said, have already been turned over to Dr. Kevin Sitting, director
of Camp I’m Still Me in Scottsville. With those locally-raised funds, Kinsey
said, young burn victims will have the chance to spend comfortable, easy days
with other flame-scarred children next summer. www.fundraising-ideas.org
