Inter-Club To Host Fundraiser For Gold Star Mothers

A consortium of 18 local motorcycle clubs called the Inter-Club will host a fundraiser at the Blue Comet headquarters in Skippack on June 3 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., with all proceeds going to the Pennsylvania chapter of the American Gold Star Mothers and Families.

The 6th-Annual benefit will feature food and music, a ceremony featuring PA State Senator John Rafferty,   PA State Rep. Tom Murt and Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz, as well as demonstrations by flag lines and color guards and appearances by the Gold Star Mothers.

The fundraiser is one of several events for the Inter-Club, who banded together nine-years ago in an effort to better serve the community and .

"I can say last year we collected over 4,000 pieces of clothing for local veterans," said Jones. "We also raised money and collected turkeys for many families last year at Thanksgiving!"

The price for admission to the fundraiser is $15-per-person, with children under 15-years-old admitted for free. The Blue Comet Motorcycle Club is located at 4042 Mensch Road in Skippack, and further information can be found by contacting Mike Sperduto at 215-205-9156.
