PEMBROKE — The Robeson County Honor Guard will be holding a bike run on Sept. 8 to raise money to support its mission, which includes providing military rites at veterans’ funerals.

Registration will be 1 to 2 p.m. at C&P Mini Mark in Pembroke. The cost is $15 per person, and $20 per couple. There will be a dinner at Evans Crossroads Fire Department after the ride.

Call Honor Guard Cmdr. Dwayne Hunt at 910-258-4286 for more information.

The unit in the past has held a steak/chicken dinner as its main fundraiser, but this year is doing the bike run because several members of the 27-person unit are battling health issues, making staging the dinner more difficult.

The Honor Guard provides its services to veterans and their families at no charge.

Anyone wishing to make a tax-deductible donation can mail it to Robeson County Honor Guard, P.O. Box 88, Red Springs, N.C., 28377.
