Bikers Against Bullies

Event date: 
Fri, 08/02/2024 - 3:00pm

Please all members come join us on the annual Bikers Against Bullies escort ride.  This organization has donated over $1.1 million dollars to our local charities.  This year they have already raised $95k and this number will increase measurably with half going to local charities.  They will share the money with Special Olympics,  Court Appointed Special Advocate(CASA), Youth and Family Services along with a $20k donation to Spearfish Meals on Wheels.  This level of contribution makes a huge difference to these organizations.  
All riders will receive a free ride patch and, historically, a meal has been provided.  We will have extra patches for $10 each.  Please give serious consideration to providing a donation.
