This past Saturday’s event at The Outpost- to raise funds for the Ghost Rider Foundation was a complete success. Co-Founder and our own Chapter President McWoodstock, tells us that between the cover charge and the charity auctions, over $2,300 was generated help bring awareness to PTSD. The National Leadership of the Leathernecks MC also has committed $2,000.00 to the cause. In addition, Joe Lorek’s family donated a whopping $5,000.00 to the cause bringing the amount of funds raised to $9,300.00.

McWoodstock also wanted me to pass along…

Gold Star Chapter member Chef did all the cooking and we had 10 boned skin on hams cooked to perfection. Macaroni salad, potato salad, cole slaw, hillbilly biker beans (guiness is the secret ingredient), pizzas (donated by HDOGG), Italian sausage with green peppers and onions (donated by Chef) and a mess of other stuff rounded out the menu.

We had some great support from the 2nd Brigade MC and the Guardians (veterans riders club) – each made a nice donation and complimented us on our involvement in this worthy cause.

The band was RASP – donated their services and played from 7:30 until 1:30am. Music was first rate and if they had a sound man and board it would have been better. Classic rock and roll but the lead singer (4’11” female) did a kick ass rendition of a lot of Janis Joplin’s hits. They kept hittin it strong until they quit.

The upcoming Ghost Rider Foundation fundraising event set for tomorrow night, Saturday May 10th, was featured on WNCX 98.5 FM’s “MUD, MIHALIK & MIKE IN THE MORNINGS” show.

Tim and Katie DeWolf did a great job talking about PTSD and the upcoming event, You can Download and Listen to the MP3 linked here: wncx.ghostrider.050908.mp3

The Ghost Rider Foundation is having its kick-off event on May 10th!

Here is a link to the flyer! Print it out, pass it out - get the word out there. We will be getting copies made and get them to people to pass out as well but until then feel free to get the word out there on your own!

The Foundation was formed to address two major concerns:

1. To counter the negative perceptions about Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) fostered and promoted by the media.

2. To be a source for veterans and their families for financial aid, counseling and to be a resource for information on the treatments and facilities available to assist in recovery.

The Ghost Rider Foundation was formed in the aftermath of a January 6th suicide by a 3 tour OIF Marine Veteran. His family and friends are doing all they can so this may never happen again. The Ghost Rider Foundation is registered in Ohio as a non-profit corporation. The Foundation also has also applied for a Federal Employee Identification Number (EIN) as well as a IRS 501c3.
