Help us help them...

Our club is an Area Chapter of the Nationally recognized Wind and Fire Motorcycle Club. This is an organization made up of active and retired firefighters who ride Harley-Davidson motorcycles with the focus on raising money for children who have been injured in fire related accidents. Wind & Fire consists of 115 chapters across 13 countries with over 3500 members.

Our chapter's beneficiary is ACBC (Aluminum Cans for Burned Children) which operates out of the Akron Children's Hospital Burn Unit. Donations and raised proceeds will send these affected children to a special summer camp and will also be used for the purchasing of specialized burn garments to aid in the healing process. Proceeds raised by our club goes to ACBC.

Thanks to this generous community, in 2003 we raised $5,010 and in 2004 we raised an amazing $19,460. Thats the most raised by any Wind & Fire Chapter on a single day in the world! With your help, this year we hope to send more of these deserving kids. Ride, donate money or help any way you can. All we ask is that you get involved for the children's sake.

THANK YOU in advance for putting a smile back on their faces! We hope to hear from you soon...

The Members of Wind & Fire Chapter #89
