A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments (ABATE) of Kansas District 6 is having a soup supper on Saturday, January 27th to raise funds to support the fuel cost of the Run for the Wall that comes through Bunker Hill.

ABATE of Kanas is a neutral organization that allows motorcycle riders and enthusiasts to put motorcycle legislation in proper prospective. The organization hosts safety education programs, public awareness programs and other proposals in an effort to prevent fatal motorcycle accidents and injuries.

The Run for the Wall is the largest and longest organized cross-country motorcycle run of its kind in the world. It starts in Ontario, California and ends at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C every May. The Run for the Wall has over 1,800 participants annually.

For the second year, ABATE of Kansas District 6 will help support the fuel cost of the Run for the Wall as it stops through Bunker Hill for gas on the Central Route. To help raise funds for the refueling, District 6 will host a soup supper.

“Our volunteers and district member are all making homemade soup,” said district representative Becca Hardman. “We have 5 different soups and this is our first time doing a soup supper for the Run for the Wall.”

The soup supper will be held at Ellis VFW Post 9139 in Ellis from 4pm until the soup runs out. Cost of attening is $5 for a bowl or $8 for all you can eat.

“We got together to do it for a good cause and we appreciate the community support,” said Hardman.
