A memorial and benefit is planned for those involved in an August crash that killed four, including three students from Silver Lake schools.

Outpouring of Love Benefit motorcycle run is scheduled for Oct. 22, according to a Facebook page for the event.

A motorcycle run will begin at Kickstart, 2521 N. Kansas at 10:30 a.m., with stops at The Dugout, Louie’s Lounge, Abigail’s and the American Legion Capital Post 1. Registration starts at 10:30 a.m. at $20 per driver and $10 per rider. Riders are expected to arrive at the American Legion between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.

A number of bands including, Phaders, Rob Wade Band, Other Brother Darryl and Straight Shot, will begin playing at 3 p.m. Tickets for only the concert are $10.

Of the four killed Aug. 18 in a two-car crash on US-24 highway, three were students from Silver Lake schools. The victims were Gaby Greeve, 11, a sixth-grader at Silver Lake Elementary School; Tyler Crouse, 14, a ninth-grader at Silver Lake High School; Devin Greeve, 17, a 12th-grader at Silver Lake High School; and Lance Lenard, 47, of Rossville.

Kade Lenard, 13, of Rossville, was injured.

All three of the student fatality victims, Gaby and Devin Greeve and Tyler, all of Topeka, were passengers in the same car, a white 1999 Subaru Impreza that Devin Greeve was driving. The fourth fatality victim, Lenard, was the driver in a gray 2007 Pontiac Vibe.

The crash between the Impreza and the Vibe occurred about 7:20 that morning in the 8400 block of N.W. US-24 highway, about 50 yards west of Humphrey Road. According to the KHP, the crash occurred when the Impreza, which was westbound on US-24, dropped off the right shoulder and
