UAW revs their engine to benefit veterans

Jane Blazer, Community Editor

The UAW MillerCoors Motorcycle Bike Run will be held in Trenton this Saturday. The proceeds will go toward Homes for Our Troops, an organization that builds homes for injured veterans.

Bikers will start at MillerCoors Brewery parking lot, 2525 Wayne-Madison Rd. The 70-mile run will begin at noon. The finish line will be at Trenton Moose Lodge, where a party will be held for all the bikers who took the time to get involved.

The after party will include raffles, food, $1.50 MillerCoors bottles and live music in order to raise money.

Denise Quinn, Vice President at MillerCoors Trenton Brewery, said MillerCoors has a strong connection with the military.

"The event is our 9th annual UAW MillerCoors bike run," Quinn said. "We have a very strong commitment to veterans groups and so each year they identify a different group that supports military families or veterans."

Registration begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, and is $15 per rider and $20 per rider with a passenger.
