AUGUSTA — Skylands Stadium was the start and finish venue for this year’s Blue Knights NJ IX Make A Wish Ride, which was held on Sunday.
The American Motorcycle Association-sponsored run included coffee, donuts, bagels, and lunch for the participants.
The proceeds from the event went to Make-A-Wish New Jersey to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. So far 483 wishes were fulfilled this year with each wish valued at about $5,000.
