Additional Information

Goldwing Road Riders Association are having their “Teddy Bear Run” to support the Shriner’s Children Hospital!

They need your help and the help of the community to put a smile on the face of a small child and make their day just a little brighter.

GWRRA is a non-profit group of motorcycle enthusiasts from Billings, Montana.  The Goldwing Chapter supports charities that help children because “children are our future”.  One of the charities they support is the Shriner’s Children Hospital in Spokane, Washington.  Children from infancy to age 18 from Montana, Idaho and the surrounding area have benefited from work done at the Shriner’s Children Hospital.
