The Remedy Band proudly accepts an invitation to participate in the first annual “Charles Harrison Memorial Blowout for MDA” on Saturday July 17th, 2010. Invited by the Clayton County Harley Davidson Owners Group, the band hopes to be part of an annual tradition that contributes to additional funding for finding a cure for Muscular Dystrophy. Steve Rabideaux, Director of the Clayton County HOG Chapter, expects the event to garner a lot of interest. “We expect a large turnout,” says Rabideaux. “We’re expecting this to be one of the biggest events in Harley Davidson of Clayton County’s History.”
Proceeds from this event will be donated to MDA and Remedy is thrilled to be able to participate in kind to support this wonderful cause. Having both friends and family affected by the disease, we’re counting on a tremendous turnout to help raise lots of money for the cause.
Muscular Dystrophy (MD) is a group of more than 30 inherited diseases including lesser know types, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and currently affects a quarter of a million kids and adults now living with the disease. It causes weakening and breaking down of muscle fibers. The muscles become weak and susceptible to damage. This disease affects the voluntary or skeletal muscles, which control the movements of legs, arms and trunk. It can also affect the heart muscles and other involuntary muscles, such as muscles in the stomach. Some forms of MD are found in infancy or childhood, while some may not appear until middle age.
The event, which will include a motorcycle ride (poker run), will begin at 3 PM and include a $500 first prize. In addition, there will be vendors, a bike show, food, drinks, and entertainment of course, provided by Remedy!
We hope to see you out at this event and encourage you to begin spreading the word. Thank you for your support!

The Remedy Band proudly accepts an invitation to participate in the 2009 “Great Chili Challenge” in support of Peachtree City’s, Line Creek Civitan Club. In addition to live music from Remedy, the event will feature a costume contest, rides, games, prizes, giveaways, dance exhibitions, and lots of great chili to sample from some of the best chili makers in the local area.
The Line Creek Civitan Club is devoted to supporting local charities and, through Civitan International, to improving the lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities. This focus began in the 1950s when Civitan funded some of the first special education training for school teachers. That commitment continues today through local and international efforts such as summer camps, vocational programs, Special Olympic Games and cutting-edge research into Autism, Cerebral Palsy and Alzheimers at the Civitan International Research Center.
Proceeds from this event will be donated to charity and Remedy is thrilled to be able to participate in support of these wonderful causes.
Come on out and join us for a great event!
