The first motorcycle fundraiser was organized in 1983 to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Bikers all over the country got their bikes ready and raised over one million dollars that went to over twenty-five charities.
Motorcycle fundraisers can be a lot fun. The success of a motorcycle fundraiser depends on the activities your group has planned that will attract people to attend.
One possible draw of a motorcycle fundraiser is a motorcycle auction. This will require your group to obtain a donated bike and auction it off. A simpler auction could involve motorcycle paraphernalia such as custom helmets, chaps, boots, goggles and gloves.
Another motorcycle fundraiser idea is to hold a cycling marathon. Bikers are sponsored by people who commit to donate a certain dollar amount for every mile (or 10 miles, or 50 miles) the participant rides. Alternately, your group could hold a ‘best bike’ contest. Participants would pay an entry fee to enter the contest, and a street fair could be held where the public is invited to view the bikes and cast a vote. Prizes could be given for the best bike and food could be sold to spectators.
