A NOTE FROM THE HOST:
🐻🏍️ OPERATION TEDDY BEAR 2026 🏍️🐻
📅 Saturday, April 4, 2026
Brothers, Sisters, friends, and community — it’s time to rally for the kids again.
Last year, Liam came out to our Teddy Bear Run and revved a Harley with a smile that said it all. Before he turned two, he was battling seizures and spent much of his childhood at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital. Today, he’s doing so much better — and moments like that are exactly why we ride.
This year, we’re doing it even bigger. 💛
We’re collecting NEW stuffed animals (must be new and placed in plastic bags) to help bring comfort to children at Mary Bridge. These simple donations make a huge impact for kids facing fear, anxiety, and long hospital stays.
