To some this may not mean much, but to Brotherhood Of Bikers RC NWI it is a lifestyle. The countless hours each one of our members spend planning events and ways to raise money for Riley's Children's Hospital Miracle Ride is just priceless to us. Every single one of us has a heart full of so much love an passion for helping others. We want to thank every one who comes out to our benefits or purchase tickets for raffles we put on to raise money that we can take down to Indy and donate to Miracle Ride Foundation. We are forever appreciative of your donations.
Dear Everyone,
Hello! I want to show my appreciation to everyone who attended this year's Miracle Ride. However, I want to take a moment to highlight one of our most dedicated groups. This is a picture of the Brotherhood of Bikers NWI. They ride all the way down from the Valparaiso area each year to share in the Miracle Ride experience and DONATE thousands of dollars to our cause. Every item you see that they are displaying are items that they bid on during the Live Auction. When the original picture of the Riley Child's handprint and the footprint that was used to create this year's Miracle Ride T-shirt was brought to the stage, the Brotherhood of Bikers STARTED the bidding at $1,000! Needless to say, they won this one-of-a-kind item. To most people, it is just a picture of a kid's hand and foot. However, to the Brotherhood of Bikers NWI, this picture is priceless.
They also purchased the "Giving Quilt" and paid over a thousand dollars for it too knowing that the money was going to Riley. What is amazing to me is that, after the auction, I was informed by Mike Holsapple representing the Brotherhood of Bikers NWI, that the sole reason why they purchased the "Giving Quilt" was so that they could donate the quilt BACK to the Miracle Ride next year! They want the "Giving Quilt" to keep on giving to help Riley Kids. Sometimes, saying "thank you" does not fully express our gratitude. So, "thank you" and "thank God" for giving and caring bikers like you.
