and Motorcycle Ride for Saturday, Sept. 8 2012
The Injured Police Officer’s Fund (IPOF) announces their seventh annual Classic Car Show and Motorcycle Ride will be rescheduled for Saturday, Sept. 8. Due to inclement weather anticipated this weekend, the IPOF and presenting sponsors will move the annual fundraiser to the fall at Bass Pro Shops located on Dean Martin Drive.
“IPOF strives to put on a great event for our supporters and the families we assist each spring, but given the unforeseen weather predictions, we feel it is best to reschedule,” said Nevada Highway Patrol Sergeant Alan Davidson, President of the Injured Police Officers Fund. “We look forward to coming out in full force in September with the same enthusiasm and energy.”
The event benefits police officers and their families throughout Nevada who were injured or killed in the line of duty.
