We’re so close to being able to fund The Gunner Dortch Memorial Scholarship at Mott Community College. We only need $2,600 more to reach the $10,000 needed! It’s an endowment scholarship, so the $10,000 funds it forever. It’s going to help purchase needed supplies to benefit each student enrolled in the Auto Tech program. All proceeds from Gunner’s Revving For Remembrance ride on June 20th will help fund the scholarship. Come out, enjoy the ride, enter raffles, bid on silent auction items, purchase merch, and enjoy the fun! Non riders are welcome to join in the fun too.❤️

A huge thank you to The Clip Corner and the awesome people who stopped in for a haircut and to support us.❤️ Thanks to your generosity we raised $850 to promote our mission. That’s awesome! (And a lot of haircuts!) We can use those funds to keep distributing our free Kids Travel Activity Packs, create new online/print motorcycle awareness campaigns, and continue to travel to events to spread the message to keep your Eyeballs Out For Bikers!
Thank you.❤️💪🏼

Northern Michigan, it’s time to fire up those bikes and roll into the Interlochen Eagles 3503-Authorized for two badass summer nights that actually mean something.

Ride with Purpose is proud to team up with the Eagles for Bike Nights in June and July, and every single dollar raised from these two nights is going directly to support The Laundry Project right here in Grand Traverse County.

Yeah, we’re talking about helping local families who are struggling just to keep up with everyday life. The Laundry Project helps cover the cost of doing laundry for people and families who are financially hurting. Sounds simple, right? But when someone is choosing between food, gas, rent, or clean clothes for their kids, that help matters more than most people realize. Sometimes dignity starts with clean clothes and somebody giving a damn.

So here’s the deal:

🔥 Bike of the Night trophies and prizes
🔥 50/50 drawings
🔥 Killer bikes
🔥 Great people
🔥 Cold drinks and good food
🔥 Supporting veterans, at risk youth, AND local families in need

And the best part? You don’t have to be an Eagle member. This thing is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Come show off your ride.
Come hang out.
Come support something bigger than yourself.

Because this is what the motorcycle community is supposed to be about: showing up, helping people, and raising a little hell while doing it.

Let’s pack the lot at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie 3503 and prove once again that bikers have some of the biggest hearts on the damn planet.

That’s a wrap! Thank you so much Karen and Kermit Anderson and The Clip Corner for hosing our fundraiser! We had a fantastic turnout and beautiful weather. Poor Karen’s going to need a serious hand massage, her scissors were flying!! So many came out to show love and support, and we appreciate each and every one of you.❤️

Are you kidding me?? We’re packing up in Clio from our motorcycle awareness fundraiser and a motorcycle gets hit right down the road. Praying for the rider and the family.
