Biker's Have A Heart
This year's event raised over $5,000 for Paige Franklin and the Sparrow Club Foundation. Paige is 7 and has a rare illness called Kawasaki Disease. It has left her serious, life-threatening heart complications. She has used the money raised to buy a blood-monitoring machine for her home.
The rest of the money has been donated to Sparrow Clubs, an Oregon-based foundation for families of children with life-threatening illnesses.
Thanks to everyone who participated in our Yahtzee Run, or showed up later to hear the live band and bid on auction items. A special thanks to volunteers from the Phoenix High School Sparrow Club; Women In the Wind-Wild Rogue Chapter; Southern Oregon HOG Chapter No. 1; Christian Motorcycle Assocation; and the local Gold Wings club. We couldn't have done it without you!
Rogue Valley Toy Run
More than 300 bikes turned up in our parking lot Dec. 6 for the 2003 Rogue Valley Toy Run. The weather was just right for a little pre-ride partying with Santa and our annual ride to the Moose Lodge for lunch.
We collected a mountain of toys, which were distributed by the Moose Lodge and the Salvation Army, and we raised several thousand dollars for our favorite charity, the Children's Miracle Network.
We've collected some of our favorite Toy Ride photos on a special page for you to see. Click here!
