The AMA sanctions hundreds of charity events every year, and each one is a great way to enjoy the camaraderie of the two-wheeled community and to contribute to the support of a variety or worthwhile organizations at the same time.

AMA-sanctioned charity events run the gamut from road rides to bike shows to racing events to benefit a wide range of causes, from medical research to veteran’s support to local food pantries and holiday toy banks.

Charity events are a win-win for everyone involved, giving participants a fun way to connect with other motorcycle enthusiasts, giving outreach organizations an additional source of funding and other vital support, and also contributing to the positive perception of motorcyclists, building relationships with local officials and other key stakeholders.
