Boo Benefit Motorcycle Rally Set for October 11, 12 and 13 in Jefferson, Texas

The Boo Benefit Bike Rally will be held this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 11, 12 and 13 in Jefferson, Texas.  Held annually as a fundraiser for burn victims and their families and the Percy R. Johnson Burn Foundation, the event attracts thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts to this normally quiet, sleepy town. 

The Boo Benefit actually began in October of 1998 after Boo (Charles `Boo` Chaler) was burned over 95% of his body in a welding accident. Several of Boo's friends knowing of his love for motorcycle riding, began the benefit in his honor while he was still hospitalized at LSU Burn Center in Shreveport, Louisiana. The money that year was given to Boo and his wife Patsy, who in turn donated the proceeds to the Percy Johnson Burn Foundation.

Since that year, Boo and many of the same friends continue to host the `Boo Run Benefit.`

This year's event will feature a Biker Ball, Two Poker Runs with a chance to win $10,000, live music, stunt shows, incredible food, bike shows and much more.
