GALVESTON - A huge benefit staged June 13th for Galveston Police Officer Chris Sanderson could not have been more successful, providing over $30,000 to help the young officer in his battle with cancer.

Centered at the Big Amos Restaurant complex at Broadway and 39th Streets in Galveston, 200 motorcyclists gathered for a 100 miles toy run leaving Galveston over the San Luis Pass Bridge and returning through Surfside Beach, Santa Fe, Hitchcock, Bayour Vista, Tiki Island and over the Galveston Causeway.

Visitors enjoyed Bar-B-Que, beer and soft drinks.  Children bounced in the Moonwalk as a band played and everyone enjoyed the hot, but beautiful day.

Shlomo "Mony" Hamo, owner of Big Amos BBQ and other Galveston businesses, worked tirelessly to make the event a successful one.  Hamo is a longtime supporter of Galveston law enforcement officers and provided valuable assistance to them during Hurricane Ike.

Event coordinators who also spent many hours each day for months in advance of the event were Galveston police officers Angela Rojas, Lewis Jackson, and Jovan Martin.

 Sanderson is battling Rhabdomyosarcoma Cancer but continues patrol duties with the Galveston Police Department between treatments.

Contributions may still be made for Officer Sanderson at any Moody Bank branch.  Visit www.MoodyBank.com for a location near you.
