The Youngstown Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 28 will have its second annual “Forever on Patrol” Memorial Poker Run on Aug. 12 at Quaker Steak & Lube on U.S. Route 224.

Registration begins at 10 a.m. with brunch, and the first bike will be out at noon.

The cost is $10 for a single rider and $15 for a couple for the ride only and $15 single and $25 for a couple for the ride and dinner.

Funds raised will be used to maintain the memory of officers killed in the line of duty at events such as the Memorial Luncheon, and for maintaining memorials on the Peace Officer’s Memorial Bridge in Youngstown.
