SUMMARY: The tragic death of two-year-old Violet Satterfield has deeply affected the Arab community in Alabama. In her memory, a special motorcycle ride was organized, bringing together family and friends who prayed for her recovery prior to her passing after a pool accident. Troy Lamard, a long-time family friend, emphasized the community’s dedication to supporting those in need. A silent auction was held during the ride to help the family with medical expenses and lost time in the hospital. Community members expressed their love for Violet, remembering her as a sweet, positive child, and stressed the importance of togetherness during this difficult time.

The Arab community banded together Saturday, carrying out a “Ride for Vy” that saw nearly 100 bikers take a journey in honor of Violet Satterfield.

One goal is to elevate the planters for easier access. Organizers hope to increase awareness of the tucked-away park, encouraging more visitors to explore nearby restaurants and coffee shops. The event will take place Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM at Flambo Hall on St. Anthony Street, with hopes for it to become an annual tradition.
