“Colby’s Ride” – a fundraiser for Colby Thompson, a victim of Shaken Baby Syndrome, allegedly at the hands of his baby sitter in Auburn – will be held next Saturday, Aug. 14 in the Tacoma area.

Proceeds from the motorcycle ride will benefit the Thompson family, of Pacific, as they look to cover medical bills. Ten percent of the proceeds donated will go to the Seattle Children’s Hospital.

The ride will begin at Eagle Leather, located at 10222 S. Tacoma Way, Lakewood, and will end at Rock the Dock Pub and Grill at 535 Dock St., Tacoma.

Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m., with the ride starting at 11 a.m.

Supporters can join riders at Rock the Dock for raffles, a silent auction, music and a benefit dinner.

Monetary donations can be made to “The Baby Colby Fund” at any Columbia Bank Branch.
