Southern Tier Riders Hit the Road for Haiti: 5th Annual Benefit Ride Set for July 12

Get ready to ride for something bigger than the open road. The 5th Annual To Haiti With Love Benefit Ride rolls out on Saturday, July 12, and it's more than just a scenic 90-mile cruise through the Southern Tier. This ride is all about giving hope, rebuilding lives, and showing love to those who need it most.

Where It All Starts

Riders will gather at the Endicott Community Church of the Nazarene on Saturday, July 12, located at 1381 Union Center Maine Highway in Endicott. Registration kicks off at 8:30 a.m., and every participant will receive a commemorative poker chip, a little keepsake with a big story behind it.

Kickstands Up at 10

After registration, there will be a special moment of prayer and blessing before riders hit the road around 10 a.m. It’s a reminder that this ride isn’t just about horsepower, it’s about heart power. Cost to participate is $20 per rider and $10 per passenger.

Food, Fellowship, and the Finish Line

When the ride winds down, stick around for lunch and fellowship. Whether you're new to the event or a returning rider, it's a chance to connect with like-minded folks and reflect on the impact being made.
