Rockwall County District Attorney Kenda Culpepper has been chosen as the Grand Marsal for the seventh annual Bikes for Tykes Teddy Bear Ride benefiting the Children's Advocacy Center of Rockwall County, scheduled Sept. 18.

Motorcycles and teddy bears will be filling the courthouse square on a September afternoon for the seventh annual Bikes for Tykes Teddy Bear Ride benefiting the Children’s Advocacy Center of Rockwall County.

Grand marshal for this year’s event is Rockwall County District Attorney Kenda Culpepper, who helped found the creation of the Children’s Advocacy Center. She helped organize the first Bikes for Tykes event in 2015.

Hundreds of cyclists are expected to be on hand for this year’s event, which starts at 11 a.m. Sept. 18 at the Rockwall County Courthouse, 1111 East Yellowjacket Lane in Rockwall.

The ride itself begins at 1 p.m. and participants will be escorted by the Rockwall Police Department as they cruise through 27 miles of Rockwall County, starting and finishing at the courthouse.

Registration is $25 per bike with a new, unwrapped soft toy. The Americas Guardians Motorcycle Club is again sponsoring the event.

The event is available to everyone and riding a motorcycle is not required to participate.

Sponsorship opportunities, online pre-registration and additional information is available at www.rockwallbikesfortykes.org.

During the 2020 ride, which was the most successful so far, more than 300 motorcycle riders participated, 650-700 teddy bears/stuffed animals were collected, and more than $40,000 was raised for the Rockwall County Children’s Advocacy Center.
