It’s still riding season in Michigan, friends! Let’s go that extra mile when driving and make sure we are really looking for motorcycles. It’s one thing to say it, but let’s follow through!!

We all know people who ride. The life saved may be someone you care about.

Motorcycle accidents don’t discriminate. Anyone can be hit, and anyone can do the hitting.

Doesn’t matter how prepared you are as a rider, or how long you’ve been riding.

Doesn’t matter how experienced you are at driving. One second of being distracted and not paying attention can kill.

One turn into traffic without taking that extra second to look for a motorcycle hidden behind a street sign, telephone pole, tree, or car can ruin the lives of an entire family. Believe me, I know!

Please take a minute to review our awareness posts from this summer and keep it in the forefront of your mind.

Print one out and put it in your vehicle as a reminder.

Talk to the drivers in your home.

Until we have a serious conversation about these things, nothing will change. Lives will be lost. Families will be destroyed.

Please help spread the word, and keep your Eyeballs Out For Bikers! 👀 🏍️

Ride on Gunner.❤️

The class is full!!

Thank you to everyone who registered! We’re hoping to be able to upgrade you to a more comprehensive trauma kit.

If all goes well with this class, we’re planning to offer more.

If you registered and see this, can you let us know if you have any food allergies please! We don’t want any anaphylactic shock at lunch.😉

Also let us know if you have any special seating requirements. We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable.

Thank you again for purchasing your ticket, and we’ll see you in November!!

Stay safe out there friends, and ride on Gunner!

🏍️ HELP US DRIVE MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS FORWARD! 🏍️

We can’t do what we do on our own. It takes the help and generosity of community members and business that share our dedication to promoting motorcycle awareness and saving lives.

The Gunner Dortch Memorial Foundation is looking for businesses and individuals who believe in our motorcycle awareness mission to partner with us as sponsors.

Every day, motorcyclists share the road with cars, trucks, and SUVs—and every driver has the power to help bring a rider home safely.

Your sponsorship helps us continue spreading motorcycle awareness throughout our communities, educating drivers, providing outreach materials, supporting our programs, and keeping Gunner’s memory moving forward with a purpose. ❤️

Whether you’re a local business, organization, family, group, or individual, your support can make a difference.

💰 Sponsorship opportunities are available at multiple donation levels, and are tax deductible.

By becoming a sponsor, you’re doing more than making a donation—you’re standing beside us and saying:

Motorcyclists matter.
Awareness matters.
Bringing riders home safely matters.

👀🏍️ Keep Your EYEBALLS OUT FOR BIKERS!

Interested in becoming a sponsor? Send us a Facebook message to learn more!

Thank you for believing in our mission, supporting our work, and helping us turn remembrance into action.
