Benefit motorcycle ride will kick off in Johnsburg

Submitted by Pioneer Center for Human Services

Register now for the “Pioneer” sixth annual motorcycle ride set for Saturday, Aug. 11.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Pioneer Center for Human Services, McHenry County’s largest social service agency providing services to more than 2,700 individuals each year.

The event started six years ago with five riders. On average more than 50 riders enjoy the scenic ride through Wisconsin. This year, the Moose Lodge in Johnsburg, 3535 Richmond Road, will host the starting off point for the ride, providing coffee and doughnuts to start the day.

All riders should plan to pay the registration fee of $25 per rider or $30 with a passenger the day of the event. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the ride starts at 10 a.m.

There will be multiple stops along the way with door prizes and a 50/50 raffle.

Riders wishing to “do a little extra” are encouraged to collect pledges for their participation from friends and family to help provide additional funding for the programs of Pioneer Center. Ninety-two cents of every dollar raised goes directly to providing services to the community.
