HOUTZDALE – The family and friends of Scott Beers are finalizing plans for the fifth annual Memorial Ride for Scott Beers to be held at 12 p.m. on Saturday, July 22.
The event will start at 1115 Hale Rd., Houtzdale and will be a fun day that will feature an ATV scenic ride in the mountains along with corn hole games, food, music and memorabilia.
Any questions can be text-messaged to Ashley at 814-404-7478, Val at 814-553-2478 or Gordon at 814-762-2725.
T-shirts for the event can be ordered by visiting Scott Beers Memorial Events & Fundraising page on Facebook.
All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Scott Beers Memorial Scholarship Funds that award scholarships to graduating students from the Clearfield County Career and Technology Center and Moshannon Valley High School.
Gordon and Valerie Beers, along with their daughter Regina and Scott’s high school girlfriend Ashley Smith, established the scholarship funds to honor Scott and his memory by providing financial scholarships to students graduating from the schools Scott graduated from.
Scholarships are awarded annually to students who, like Scott, overcame obstacles in life and are pursuing a post high school education in fields of community service and construction/electrical trades.
The Beers family said: “This annual event brings together people who knew Scott and we cherish the memories and fellowship that are shared during the day.
“We welcome anyone who would like to participate in the event and enjoy the day’s festivities. With funds raised at last year’s event, we were able to award four scholarships to CCCTC students this year.
“The goal is to build the scholarship funds to help students from the Clearfield County Career and Technology Center and Moshannon Valley High School while also building on Scott’s legacy.”
