| Who: |
Over 600 motorcyclists with a heart for the homeless rode 100 miles to raise money for the poor and homeless at City Union Mission. |
| What: |
This year riders raised over $23,500 by obtaining sponsors to pledge any amount (per mile driven), with a minimum donation of $20 to ride. |
| When: |
Yesterday, Sunday, May 1, 2005 |
| Where: |
The ride began at Richards Gebaur Airport, 15910 Kensington, Belton, MO (Registration 9 a.m. to Noon) and ended at City Union Mission Men’s Center at 10th & Troost, KCMO. |
| Why: |
This event has raised almost $450,000 for City Union Mission’s poor and homeless guests since it began in 1990. Funds raised provide Kansas City’s poor and homeless with things they might otherwise go without, such as baby formula, nursery equipment, eyeglasses, bus tokens for job interviews, and utility assistance. |
| Thank You: |
Dan Doty, executive director of City Union Mission said, “This years Biker's with a Mission event was amazing. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the generous and compassionate biker community. Thank you for uniting for those in need.” |
