Sharkey Ride Is on Sunday

The seventh annual ride with the Red Knights’ Chapter 25 to raise money for the Donald T. Sharkey Memorial Community Fund will take place on Sunday. Mr. Sharkey was a well-known member of the Amagansett community and an East Hampton Town building inspector. 

The ride starts at the Bridgehampton Firehouse on School Street. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., with the ride kicking off at 11.  Coffee and bagels, provided by Goldberg’s, will be provided in between. 

Each person on a bike is asked for a $30 donation. After the ride, the group will gather at the Highway Restaurant and Bar on Montauk Highway in Wainscott for food, drinks, and a 50/50 raffle at 12:30 p.m.

The Donald T. Sharkey Memorial Community Fund is a nonprofit corporation, which provides educational scholarships and summer camp opportunities, as well as assistance to those in need due to injury, illness, or loss of a loved one. Since Mr. Sharkey’s death in 2009, over $370,000 has been raised.
