Mountain Ride Fundraiser to benefit Deputy Holzclaw

The MFC Smoky Mountains Chapter invites the community to support distressed Veterans, First Responders, and their families. 

The Military, Fire Fighter, and Cops (MFC) Motorcycle Club’s Smoky Mountain and East Atlanta Chapters are hosting the 6th Annual Charity Fundraiser and Mountain Ride at the Ridges Resort in Young Harris on September 16. 

This year’s beneficiaries will be Deputy Patrick Neil of the Hall County Sheriff’s Office and Operation Rally Point in Monroe, GA. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to these beneficiaries. Deputy Holzclaw lost his entire family in a vehicle accident on July 16. Operation Rally Point is a Veteran led nonprofit 501c3 charity whose mission is to triage Veterans in crisis and provide immediate access to lodging and additional services to Veteran’s in need. 

Last year, the Smoky Mountain Chapter raised more than $30,000 in monetary contributions, food and household products to support Veterans, First Responders and their families. 

The Ridges will provide an Oktoberfest style beer tent to both celebrate the season and wait for returning riders. There will also be food, fun, music, motorcycle related vendors, and a charity auction.

Even if you don’t ride, come out and support the cause and enjoy the family friendly festivities.

This event will be held rain or shine. 

Contact Smoky Mountain President Steve Wentworth at (321) 377-4386 with questions or to support this event. All auction related or monetary donations will be accepted. 

Registration will be at 9 a.m. with KSU up at 10:30. Festivities will last all day. This is a family-friendly event and everyone is welcome.
