The Guthrie Territorial Riders continue to make an impact in their community.
The Territorial Riders donate raised money to Officer Jason Hamilton to help local children this Christmas.
The local motorcycle association recently held a silent auction and accepted donations for the upcoming Shop with a Cop in Guthrie.

The association donated $550 to the cause that will help provide a happy Christmas to those children who otherwise may not have received gifts due to family and/or financial hardships. Fund-raising efforts throughout the year make this event possible.
The donation was received by Officer Jason Hamilton of the Guthrie Police Department at the association’s monthly meeting in their new building located at Drexel and Oklahoma.
The Territorial Riders first met in 2003, and in 2004 was accepted into the Confederation of Clubs. Members are from Guthrie, South Logan County, Crescent, Edmond and Oklahoma City.
Families are chosen for a variety of reasons such as extreme financial hardship due to loss of employment, loss of parent(s) during the current year, catastrophic loss such as house fires, etc.
This year the event will take place inside Wal Mart, on December 17th, at 6:00. Santa Claus will be on hand along with cookies and drinks.
The police department is asking for assistance to make this project a tremendous success. If you are interested in donating to the Guthrie Police Department “Shop With A Cop” Program, please send your tax-deductible monetary donation, in the form of a check or money order to Guthrie Police Department, 306 West Oklahoma, Guthrie, Oklahoma 73044.
