4th Annual BAD Ride a Success

Thanks to Riders, contributers, sponsors Bikers Against Diabetes 2007 Maine Ride collected over $8,500.00 for Juvenile Diabetes Research

The last three Maine B.A.D. Rides have contributed over $35,000.00 towards diabetes public awareness and education by providing contributions directly to the Maine American Diabetes Association. In 2006 the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in Maine became the B.A.D. Ride Recipient of all contributed donations. Each year the B.A.D. Ride has grown with helpful bikers wanting to make a difference and believing additional public funding is needed to find the cure for diabetes.

The 5th Maine BIKERS AGAINST DIABETES Fundraising Coastal Ride will be held on Sunday, July 20th, 2008 at the Rockland Elks Lodge #1008 at 210 Rankin Street in Rockland, Maine. Our event is held regardless of weather. Bikers register at 8 a.m. with registration donation fees of $35.00 for each Driver and $15.00 for each Rider, which includes raffles, lunch, live music and an official 2006 B.A.D. Ride tee shirt. Contributions collected from sponsors are submitted at the time of registration to tally; as 25 Lbs. of Live Maine LOBSTER is awarded to each of the top 5 Fundraisers!
