The Enumclaw teenager was killed Oct. 31, 2012, struck by a passing vehicle on state Route 410.

The Oct. 31 event begins at 3 p.m. with registration at the ShoWare Center in Kent. A mid-point stop will be at Bonney Lake Tavern and riders will then travel to the accident site for a candlelight vigil at 7:45. The ride will end at the Four Seasons in Enumclaw, where there will be a raffle and auction. A $10 donation per bike is asked.

The event is planned to increase awareness of underage alcohol and drug abuse, with all proceeds going to the DARE program.
