Bikers for Babies hold its 20th annual fundraising ride Sept. 21, starting from the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan., about 11 a.m. Sunday.
The 100-mile bike trip is a fundraiser for the March of Dimes. As many as 5,000 motorcycle riders are expected to participate Sunday.
“This is the biggest Bikers for Babies ride in the country,” said Jennifer Robinson, state director of communications for the March of Dimes.
The commitment from volunteers, the support from sponsors and from honorary chair, Johnny Dare, make it the most successful one in the nation, she said. It is Dare’s 19th year supporting Bikers for Babies.
It has been a passion with so many volunteers for so many years, she added.
Besides families who have a connection with March of Dimes, there are thousands who participate in this event who do not have a personal connection, she said.
Registration for the ride is at 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the day of the event. There is an entry fee of $40 for registration on the day of the ride.
The route for Bikers for Babies has changed within the last week, Robinson added. The new route is online at http://www.bikersforbabieskc.com/motorcycle-ride-details/motorcyle-event-maps/.
