Elementary Schools Get a Boost From Benefit Ride

Some fun and boozy prizes to be had

The gathering of nearly 100 riders, which contained members of E.B.G.B. Motorcycle Club and non-members alike, got together in order to raise funds for Maury County schools and hopefully beyond. In order to participate in the ride, the bikers all had to donate at least $10. On top of that, there were also raffle tickets giving participants a chance to win a guitar, riding boots, or one of three special engraved bottles of whiskey.

Every dollar counts

The members of E.B.G.B. started the annual event in hopes of helping the community, especially those who can't afford to buy the needed school supplies. They also wanted to help out the teachers who often find themselves dipping into their own pockets for classroom supplies to teach more effectively. Last year, the motorcycle club raised more than $1,700 with a group of 67 riders with all proceeds going to the Maury County Public Schools.

A great meal to end a long ride

The group of bikers journeyed through southern central Tennessee making stops in Pulaski, Lawrenceburg (site of the E.B.G.B. clubhouse), and Mt. Pleasant. At each one of these stops, the group grew with the addition of more riders and donations towards the school supplies fund. At the end of the ride, there was a celebration with live music and some good ol' Cajun cuisine at the Columbia clubhouse.

Role models for the kids and parents

The proceeds from this year's ride will go to Highland Park Elementary School and Riverside Elementary School. Both schools will be receiving a batch of supplies for students, and gift cards to help out teachers when materials start to run low. Items such as notebooks, backpacks, and other necessary supplies go a long way in helping families experiencing a tough time getting their little ones ready for the upcoming school year.

It's all for the kids

“We want to see our children get a better education,” the drive’s organizer Gayla Grant said, “Where else should your money go if not for a child’s education?” Club Treasurer David "Millze" Mills remarked “We are not tough guys. We are not troublemakers by any means. The more we can help the better it is for everyone.”
