P.I.G.S Motorcycle Group Raises $3500 For Kids Of St. Jude

Congratulation to the P.I.G.S. Motorcycle Group, their first ride to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital was a rousing success! Even with the foggy, misty Northland weather they had a great number of participants, tons of fun and raised lots of money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Over 65 riders gathered at Grumpy's in Superior to register and buy a St. Jude t-shirt. Then the fun began as they rode mile after mile through the winding roads of Wisconsin and on the Delta Drummond making several stops along the way. The ride ended at Tavern 105 in South Superior with games, tons of prizes, a genuine hog roast and the band Shocker on stage. The ride brought in $3500 for the kids of St. Jude!!!! Congratulations, P.I.G.S!!!!

In the past the P.I.G.S. have donated time, energy and effort to rides that benefited the Vets. They have been extremely successful and decided that they wanted to add kids to the list of community service, that's why I got a call about St. Jude. However, this isn't my only dealing with the P.I.G.S. Several members of the group donate their time on Thanksgiving to the Thanksgiving Day Buffet that is served at the DECC on Thanksgiving Day and delivered to many community members that are house bound. On the Friday after Thanksgiving they are back at the DECC to help carry borrowed items back to the College of St. Scholastic with their own trucks and trailers. Their continued support in this event and all the community events they are part of is welcomed and greatly appreciated.

Here's a peek at what you missed so you can be sure to attend the festivities next year with even more surprises planned!
