On Saturday, June 15th, an unimaginable act of violence struck a
community park in Rochester Hills, Michigan, affecting families who
were simply enjoying a day out. Nine victims, ranging in age from 4
to 78, suffered gunshot wounds, and countless others are still
grappling with the trauma. These individuals were targeted
randomly, and now it’s time for our community to come together
and offer support.
Reasons To Ride and Erskine Law have joined forces to host a
community bike show at the historic Van Hoosen Farm & Museum in
Rochester Hills. With the backing of local businesses and partners,
we’re inviting EVERYONE to join us for a fun-filled day at the park.
100% of the registration fees from the bike show, along with other event revenues, will go directly to a fund for the

Other opportunities:
Raffle Basket – a great way to support the cause and promote your business or organization. Baskets
should have an approximate value of $50-100 in value, and can contain products from your company, the
community, or items along a particular theme. For instance, a basket of fall themed foods and
decorations or maybe car care items from an auto shop. Please note that if you put the items together,
you do not need to prepare the basket itself. We have volunteers that can help with that. Email us at
Info@ReasonsToRide.com for information or to arrange pick-up / drop off.
Vendor / Exhibitor – There are a limited number of spots for indoor and outdoor vendor / exhibitor
booths during this event. This is a great way to show your support and connect with the community. We
are especially looking for family-oriented organizations there to help host activities while sharing their
message. Businesses should have a family-oriented presentation or activity for kids. Email us at Info@ReasonsToRide.com for more
information.
Event Volunteer – We are in need of additional volunteers both the day of the event and leading up as we prepare and look to spread the
word. Email us if you’re interested in helping out – no experience needed, just a willingness to help and desire to make a difference!

Online processing fees are additional and go directly to cover these costs – without costing the organizers or the benefit.
