JoyRiders International, the newly-formed Adventist motorcycling association, will hold a charity ride for Adventist Development and Relief Agency, International (ADRA). Several active chapters will host the ride on May 14, 2005, the Sabbath traditionally designated for the annual development and relief offering. Participants need to bring a minimum donation of $25 per bike, in cash or check made payable to ADRA International, to the charity ride on May 14.

While part of the organization’s vision is to provide Christian association for members and non-members through local and national rallies, another integral part of its mission is to promote community-involved charity fund-raising.

Three sites have made commitments to date. In Mich., the host site will be the Warren Seventh-day Adventist Church; in Wis., the host site will be in Green Bay; and in Minn., the Twin Cities chapter will host a fund-raising rally.
