More than 200 bikers rolled into Chennault International Airport for the Lake Charles inaugural Run with the Nuns Bike Ride on Saturday. Organized by the Christus St. Patrick Foundation, the fund-raising event included live bands, vendors, a rice & gravy cook-off, and a motorcycle and a Car and Truck show. The Car and Truck show was sponsored by the Idlers Show Cars and Show Trucks of Lake Charles.
According to Kay Barrett, Executive Director of Development for Christus St. Patrick Foundation, the event raised $50,000 for “The Center for Healthy Living.” The $5-million center is scheduled to break ground in late summer or early fall near Christus St. Patrick Hospital. Upon its completion, the center will promote health and wellness in the area.
