Tickets proceeds help offset the costs of running the Survivor Fund's Events so your donation at the Events goes into the pool of funds to help local families riders killed and/or seriously injured in motorcycle accidents, and to promote motorcycle safety, education and awareness programs to reduce those accidents. Your donation is tax deductible as the MMSF, Inc. is a 501c3 nonprofit corporation run and worked all by volunteers.
