5th Annual Mountain Ride

By Craig Everson

It’s that time of year again! The Military, Fire Fighter, and Cops (MFC) Motorcycle Club’s Smoky Mountain Chapter is hosting its 5th Annual Charity Fundraiser event located at the Copperhead Lodge in Blairsville, Georgia on September 17, 2022. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go directly to the North East Georgia Homeless Veteran’s Shelter (NEGHVS).

Not only will MFC host a beautiful mountain ride starting and finishing at the Copperhead Lodge, but there will also be food, fun, music, motorcycle related vendors, and of course a charity auction! Even if you don’t ride, please come out and support our Veterans and enjoy the family friendly festivities! This event will be held rain or shine!

Last year, the Smoky Mountain Chapter was able to raise in excess of $18,000 in monetary contributions, food and household products. The goal for this year is to raise even more!

Paramount to the event’s success is the continued support and participation by so many incredible local patrons and gracious businesses and donors. We promise your efforts are making a direct and positive impact on many Veterans here in Georgia. You may have also noticed MFC MC at Currahee Brewing in Clayton on the first Sunday of the month from 2-6 pm. MFC has teamed up with Currahee to help raise both awareness and support for the NEGHVS. If you’re in town, stop by and grab a burger or a beer and enjoy the weather and fellowship.

Thank you for your continued support, MFC could not do this without YOU! That’s why we love being a part of this glorious smalltown community and living local!

Please reach out to Smoky Mountain Chapter President Steve Wentworth at 321-377-4386 to support this event or if you have any questions. All auction related or monetary donations will be gladly accepted!

As always, please be mindful of your two wheeled friends and take that extra look before turning!
