Police Unity Tour Fund-raiser at Hattricks

We have a diverse bicycle community here in the Tampa Bay area and one of the players is the Police Unity Tour (PUT).

Local police will join their pedaling brethren in biking to Washington, D.C. to raise money for a law enforcement memorial to remember police who have been killed in the line of duty. You might recall that Mayor Iorio did the final miles of the ride last year to memorialize the life of her police driver who was killed. In fact, here's a photo of Mayor Iorio wearing her PUT windbreaker during a neighborhood bike ride in Seminole Heights on Saturday.

Ellen Pierson, who helps in the local Police Unity Tour efforts, sent me some background info on a local fund-raiser here in Tampa.

It will be on a Thursday, April 10, from 5-9 PM at Hattricks at 107 S. Franklin St., Tampa, FL 33602. Phone number is 813-225-4288
