The Blacktop Saints Riding Club will be hosting its First Annual Making a Difference (M.A.D) Ride on August 18, 2018! As a registered 501C3 charity, 100% of the proceeds will be donated by the Blacktop Saints to help support families in our community, including organizations such as The Great Lakes Burn Camp and Great Lakes Center for Autism Treatment and Research.

Registration and package pick-up will begin at 9AM on the day of the event at Zeigler Motorsports in Kalamazoo, MI. Pre-registration is encouraged in order to secure your spot in the ride and will include a ride shirt if registered before July 4, 2018. The cost for registration is $25 per rider. This cost also includes entry to the final stop of the ride at JB’s Whiskey Creek for the concert headlined by Detroit rock band Sponge!

The ride will have three stops, which will each include different door prizes and 50/50 drawings. The first two stops will take place for about an hour each. During these two stops, those who wish to join the ride may register and do so. The total distance for the ride will be about 115 miles from start to end. Police officers will provide blockers at large intersections, along with members of BSRC set-up to block intersections as well.

The ride will conclude at JB’s Whiskey Creek, which will be the third and final stop. Entertainment at this stop will include music from three different bands, including Bonehawk, Handsome Pete, and the headliner, Sponge. JB’s will also have food vendors and an outdoor, full service bar!

For those who are interested in attending the concert portion and not the ride itself, the cost will be $15 per person.

Please share this event with your friends and family to help raise money for local causes, including The Great Lakes Burn Camp and Great Lakes Center for Autism Treatment and Research! Like us on Facebook for updates on this and other events at @blacktopsaintsrc
