WICHITA, Kan. — A local law firm is holding a special event to benefit Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Saturday, Oct. 17.
Bretz & Young Injury Lawyers will be hosting the Ride Like MADD poker run in memory of Wichita police officer Stacy Woodson and his 10-year-old son, Braeden. The poker run will kick off at the Sedgwick County Law Enforcement Memorial, located at 455 N. Main in Wichita, at 9 a.m. and will include five stops with Twister City Harley Davidson in Park City being the final stop.
Officer Woodson and his son were killed April 27, 2018, in Wichita when a truck hit the motorcycle they were riding. According to court records, the truck driver had a BAC between .089 and .119 at the time of the wreck.
“Families like the Woodson family shouldn’t have to have empty seats at the dinner table because of such senseless acts,” Matt Bretz with Bretz & Young Law Firm said. “On October 17th, we are riding in memory of Officer Stacy and Braeden.” Half of the proceeds from this Poker Run will be donated to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, whose mission is to bring awareness to the dangers of driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol, to support the victims of these violent crimes, and to prevent underage drinking.
To participate in the Ride Like MADD poker run, simply arrive at the Sedgwick County Law Enforcement Memorial between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. to register. Stands go up at 10 a.m. Poker hands are $25 each and prizes will be awarded for first and second place with half of the proceeds being donated to MADD.
