BONES or Bronco Owners North East States is proud to announce the 12th annual May It Forward. This event will be held May 15/16th in central Massachusetts at the PACC social club, 171 Kendall Pond Rd west, Gardner, MA 01440. Last year we shattered both attendance and donation total with our best year yet! BONES was fortunate to have over 100 trucks from different states! BONES collectively raised over $30,000 dollars donated to the Travis Mills Foundation! (www.travismills.org) This organization has a retreat in Rome, Maine that hosts post 9-11 veterans who have been injured in active duty or as a result of their service to our nation, at no cost, with various issues with adaptive family and outdoor activities as well as bonding with fellow veterans and their families.

What we do:
We are now a two-day event with a Friday afternoon scenic cruise on May 15th with the main event being on Saturday, May 16th. The Friday afternoon cruise is just a leisurely ride through North central Massachusetts with a photo stop mixed in and a chance to meet with other Bronco fanatics. Saturday is a donation only event with a day full of fun, food, Fords and friends. Broncos of every shape and size and year will be in attendance, and we hope you can join us! The raffle has become legendary due to the generosity of generous vendors and friends! We have had a homemade quilt to Napa toolboxes to an original Sherman cooker, to a set of new Toyo tires were among many of the amazing items we have had over the years. We would be honored if you would consider us to achieve even more in 2026!! When we started this event there was about 25 trucks and now, we have grown to over 100 Broncos of all generations as well as 300 attendees with it expanding every year. This New England group and friends from beyond is nothing short of amazing! Thanks a million for your time and consideration and let's May It Forward again for these brave hero's! I would like to proudly add that in the eleven years of doing May It Forward, BONES has raised over $130,000 for veterans!
