Milford Elks Riders Raise $2,000 for K-9 First Responders at Annual Bike Night

MILFORD, CT — The Milford Elks Riders hosted their 2nd Annual Bike Night on June 7 at Milford Elks Lodge #1589, drawing motorcycle enthusiasts, community members, local businesses, and nonprofit supporters for a successful day of fellowship, entertainment, and charitable giving.

The event featured an impressive lineup of motorcycles from riders across the region, with attendees enjoying music, food, raffles, and activities throughout the day. A highlight of the event was the motorcycle showcase, where trophies were awarded to the owners of the top three motorcycles on display.

Beyond the bikes and entertainment, the event's primary mission was to support a worthy local cause. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, sponsors, volunteers, and participants, the Milford Elks Riders raised $2,000 for K-9 First Responders Inc., a Milford-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting public safety and emergency response efforts involving highly trained K-9 teams.

The event was organized by Milford Elks Rider member Ray Ramadan, whose leadership and dedication helped make the fundraiser a success.

The Milford Elks Riders are a group of motorcycle enthusiasts based out of Milford Elks Lodge #1589 who combine their passion for riding with a commitment to community service. Guided by their motto, "We Ride for a Cause," the Riders organize charitable events, fundraising initiatives, and outreach efforts that support veterans, first responders, children, and local organizations throughout the region.

K-9 First Responders Inc. provides support for search-and-rescue operations, disaster response efforts, public safety initiatives, and other critical services involving specially trained K-9 teams. Their work plays an important role in helping emergency personnel protect and serve communities across Connecticut and beyond.

As a result of the event's success, the Milford Elks Riders presented a $2,000 donation to K-9 First Responders Inc. to help further the organization's mission and ongoing community impact.

"Giving back to our community is at the heart of everything we do," said James Garfield, President of the Milford Elks Riders. "We Ride for a Cause isn't just our motto—it's what drives us.
