FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 13, 2010

Paul “Earthquake” Moore’s 11th Annual Weekend of Peace
and Gospelrama for Peace
Starts May 14, 2010

Peace will be the major theme when area motorcyclists and special guests once again join Paul “Earthquake” Moore for his 11th annual Weekend of Peace and Gospelrama for Peace on May 14 and 15.

The activities begin on Friday, May 14, 2010, with an entertaining Gospelrama from 8-11 p.m. at the Elmwood Skating Rink, 71st Street and Elmwood Avenue. The following morning at 11 a.m., members of the State Burners Motorcycle Club joined by Philadelphia Deputy Police Commissioner Stephen Johnson and other special guests will line up at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue for a symbolic trek down North Broad Street to Cheltenham Avenue. The idea is to cover one end of Philadelphia to the other in a quest for peace.

Once the bikers reach Cheltenham Avenue, the group will turn around and motorcade back to the stadium area. A reception will follow the ride at the State Burners’ Motorcycle Club House, in the 5200 block of Woodland Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia. Bikers from throughout the Greater Philadelphia area are expected to participate.

Both the Gospelrama party and the motorcycle ride are tributes to slain Philadelphia police officers and their families. Their deaths and those of other Philadelphia citizens, are grim reminders to all who want gun violence to end. In addition, a wreath will be on display at the skating rink along with the urn of an anonymous person killed in a senseless act of violence. Moore said he hoped that these bold reminders will make children and young adults see what can happen if they choose to behave violently.A donation will be collected upon entrance to the Elmwood Skating Rink, but for less fortunate kids, entrance if free.
For more information about the weekend’s events or to donate, please contact Paul “Earthquake” Moore at P.O. Box 5323, Phila., PA 19142, phone him at (215) 385-2696
