INDIAN MOTORCYCLE RIDING GROUP #1988
We are proud to have the Indian Motorcycle Riding Group #1988 Low Country Chapter out of Ladson, SC as our favored sponsor this year for the July 13th Back to School Outreach in the Dorchester Terrace area. IMRG #1988 President Walter Drenkhahn and several of his board will be present at this event with some of the finest motorcycles you've seen. Come out and show your support for the underserved and those serving them. July 13th 10 to 3 at the Jeanene Batten Community Center 3742 Dorchester Rd. North Charleston. Along with some pretty sweet bikes IMRG will be providing face painting and games with prizes for the kids.
We love these guys!

volunteer and donation opportunities
MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Favor Foundation held a back to school outreach on July 13th at Jeanene Batten Community Center and we were so blessed with an abundance of awesome volunteers. At this event we provided bags of food, school supplies, hot dogs, hamburgers, games for the kids and face-painting as well as a fire truck and motorcycles to view and blood pressure checks. We want to thank Indian Motor Cycle Riding Club #1988 from Ladson and Expeditors for their contributions to this event as well as Mrs. Mary Parler Freeman for doing our wellness checks. The volunteers were incredible and we can't thank you all enough. We had repeat volunteers from as far away as Walterboro and new volunteers as close as Joint Base Charleston. A special shout out to Teck Sgt. William Anderson, Head Training Instructor and Flight Chief at 315th Air Wing Development & Training Program for providing the bulk of our volunteers who did everything from bag groceries and help client to their cars to manning the grill. They were definately a much needed show of support and they came strong! We salute you all.
