OUR PURPOSE
MISSION STATEMENT
EVERY YEAR THOUSANDS OF BIKERS IN NORTHERN OHIO HIT THE ROADS TO RIDE
FOR THEIR FAVORITE CHARITIES, IT’S THE BIKERS WAY OF GIVING BACK TO THEIR
COMMUNITY, AND HELPING THOSE FAMILIES THAT ARE IN NEED. BUT SADLY, WHEN A BIKER
LOSES HIS OR HER LIFE IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT, THE FALLEN RIDERS FAMILY HAS NO ONE TO TURN TO, TO HELP THEM WITH ANY
FINANCIAL NEEDS THEY MAY HAVE, AT THIS MOST DIFFICULT TIME, UNTIL KNOW! THE FALLEN RIDERS MEMORIAL FUND WAS CREATED TO HELP THESE FAMILIES
AT THIS MOST DIFFICULT TIME IN THEIR LIVES, BY GIVING FINANCIAL AID TO THESE
FAMILIES. THE MONEY WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE THEM WILL HELP WITH THEIR BILLS, TO
BUY FOOD, OR TO HELP COVER SOME OF THE FUNERAL EXPENSES OF THEIR LOVED ONE.
The Fallen Riders Memorial Fund was founded on January 1st 2004.
This fund has been established to give financial help to families who have lost a loved one
in a motorcycle accident. The Memorial Fund was formed to help all Motorcyclist and Motorcycle clubs,
in Cuyahoga,Lorain, Erie, Huron, Trumbull, Medina, Lake,Geauga,Ashtabula, Portage,and Summit counties .
It is a non-profit (501c3) organization that is funded solely by generous donations
from individuals and clubs. The executive director and board members are volunteering their time,and will
not be compensated. All money donated to this fund will be given to families of fallen riders! We hope you
will adopt our Memorial Fund as one of the many charities you support . Now bikers have a charity of their own that is designed
only for them and their families,to support. Together we can build the Fallen Riders Memorial Fund into something truly special
that can be of great help to those who need it.

notify us of a family that needs our help, for more info, to make suggestions , comments, or to make donations,

HOW EACH CASE WILL
BE HANDLED:
After the memorial fund has been informed, we will first get all the details
of the accident for review. After all the facts have been reviewed by the board, then someone from the board will contact
the family to find out how they can be assisted. The board of directors will then meet to discuss the families needs and to
determine how the fund can help. After the determination is made,the executive or a board member will personally present the
family with a check.
The fallen riders memorial fund’s board
of directors hope and pray that we will never have to use this memorial fund for it’s intended purpose,but unfortunately
that will not be the case.
It is up to friends or family to notify us with in 3 months of the accident,of a
family that needs our help. We will not approach any family with assistance during, or after their time of mourning, unless
we have been asked to do so. Also, all requests for assistance
may be subject to further investigation by the board of directors.
