Registration opens Monday for the fourth annual Officer Brian Shaw Memorial Scholarship Ride set for Aug. 21.
The ride through the Alle-
Kiski Valley benefits a scholarship fund that reimburses graduates from the Allegheny County Police Training Academy.
Shaw, a New Kensington police officer, was shot and killed after a traffic stop and foot chase in 2017.
The motorcycle ride topped out with more than 760 motorcycles in 2019, but was capped last year at 500 bikes, with a post-ride celebration pared down, because of pandemic restrictions.
“Although we had our bump in the road last year, we were amazingly successful and exceeded our expectations given covid-19 last year,” said Leslie Zellers of Allegheny Township, secretary of the Officer Brian Shaw Memorial Scholarship Fund.
