As Christmas gets closer, our Adopt-a-Family program is in full swing, and we still have some families that need to be adopted. We are continuing to receive the names of families in our biker community who are struggling, injured riders who are still recovering, or families of riders who have passed that are grieving. There are veterans and families that are without work that won’t be able to put Christmas under the tree without assistance from our Adopt-a-Family program.

BikerDown: Toy Run Breakfast in the Park
This will be the 7th year that BikerDown will host Breakfast In the Park at Aurora Sports Park the morning of the Toy Run.
Volunteers will arrive at 7:30 am and breakfast begins at 8 am sharp. This has become a tradition in the morning and gives the riders a place to socialize, wake up and get in line early so they can be at the start of the parade. It has always been a contest to see who can be the first 100 riders lined up for the parade. [Read more…] about BikerDown: Toy Run Breakfast in the Park

BikerDown Foundation Expanding Nationwide
BikerDown was founded in November of 2011 with the mission of helping injured riders in Colorado. Nothing could have ever prepared this nonprofit for the journey ahead and the diversity of the riders that we would meet. This mission has changed so drastically since 2011 as BikerDown continued to grow. Never did I anticipate that we would be so actively involved with an injured rider’s family and friends. I never anticipated the need for this nonprofit would be so great that we would help over 65 families with their motorcycle fatalities and over 150 accident help requests just within the state of Colorado in 2017.

Bikers for Justice
By: Fuzz Lyndel Elliott
April is Child-abuse awareness month and I would guess there isn’t a reader out there who doesn’t know of a child that has been abused or as a child been abused themselves. Child-abuse comes in many forms and the impact of abuse stays with a child long after their abuser stops abusing. It can affect that child to adulthood and stay with them for life.
