Miracle Ride Article

Ride for the Kids at Rileys (MadMax) raised $24,000 dollars in 2011 and again won the miracle ride bike (883L 2011 Harley Sportser)

2012, the Ride will be on May 20th and the demoliation derby will be on May 12th, Flyer to come soon.

On Saturday May 14th, 2011, area tri-state supporters will kick off the 4th Annual Mad Max Ride for the Kids at Riley's.  This year we are having an ALL weekend event. This event is a non-profit, fundraiser that will be  benefiting Deaconess Riley Children's Services & Riley's Children's Hospital of Indianapolis. We are supporting the many lives saved through Riley's research and care-giving.  The all weekend event will include: Demolition Derby  (Saturday May 14th 3pm)sponsored by Thunder Valley Promotions. The Derby will be followed by, Jason Clutter, in concert (Saturday Evening). The Ride for the Kids will kick off the following day (Sunday May 15th @ 9am)  .

The funds will be raised through several different means including business and private donations, auctions, and a raffle of a  2010 Harley 883 Sportster motorcycle and the approximately 100 mile Poker-Run; this event proves to be an ongoing success and truly beneficial for the children at Deaconess Riley Children's Services & Riley's Children's Hospital of Indianapolis. Last year was a HUGE success, totaling almost $30,000. We are expecting this year to be the largest in not only turn-out; but dollars raised for the KIDS!  Come out and support this wonderful cause.

 

Kappa Sigma is an international fraternity founded in 1869. On four pillars; Scholarship, Leadership, Fellowship, and Service. The stereotypical philanthropy associated with fraternities are usually Adopt-A-Spot and organized structured community service. When we were confronted by Judy to help with Mad Max Ride I jumped at the chance to do something out of the box and breakdown the stereotypes for a great cause. The children at Riley were the main thing for us though, we all know someone or someone's family who has been touched by Riley Hospital so this event was perfect for Kappa Sigma.
