Our first annual poker run went off as planned on a warm Saturday, June 14, 2008. A total 78 motorcycles came from as far as Albany, NY to help support our foundation. Thanks to these wonderful riders, our many volunteers, and generous sponsors, we were able to raise another $1900.00 that we'll award as grants.

We'd like to pay special recognition to Trantolo & Trantolo, LLC. for a $300.00 cash donation.

Other donations for food and door prizes were donated by:

Dunkin Donuts

Harkins Market

Costco

Town Fair Tire

Larry Tavenner

Enfield Motor Sports

Outback Steak House

Golden Irene's Restaurant

Enfield Elks Lodge 2222

Hu Ke Lau Restaurant

Please support those businesses that support our community.

We need to extend our deepest gratitude to one of the premier rock bands in New England:

ShovelHead

This is the second event in less than a year the band has played for an event. They cart tons of equipment, set up and break down, and amaze our guests with their musical talents. Shovelhead has never asked our foundation for a penny and, in fact, have asked to do more shows for us. Do yourself a favor and attend one of their shows. A schedule and more band information can be found at:

Finally... Thanks to the dozens of volunteers that made this event a success. We are forever grateful for your tireless efforts.
