Bikers Bash and Sun Run Raise Charity $250K

Friday, December 18, 2009

(L to R) Custom motorcycle builder Paul Yaffe, Max Osceola of the Seminole Tribe, Dave Amchir of the Toy's in the Sun Run, and Jimmie Van Zant of the Jimmie Van Zant Band give new meaning to 'Biker Bash.'
The Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse Tour made its final stop for 2009 at the Fort Lauderdale Harley-Davidson "Bikers Bash" on December 4th for a night of motorcycle entertainment and fun, with all proceeds going to the Boys & Girls Club of Broward County.

Bike enthusiasts from across the country converged on Fort Lauderdale for the legendary and charitable motorcycle event December 3-6. Weekend festivities kicked off Friday evening at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for the Bikers Bash VIP event and culminated at the 22nd Annual Christmas Toys in the Sun Run- the world's largest motorcycle parade, the combination of the two raised over $250,000 for two local charities.

Hosted by the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and the Seminole Tribe of Florida, this year's event included dinner, live entertainment and a Charity Auction to benefit the Boys and Girls Club of Broward County, where they raised over $175,000. Party-goers enjoyed the Jake and Elwood Blues Revue as well as a stunning and sexy performance by the Purrfect Angelz. The highlight of the evening featured an FXDWG Dyna Wide Glide presented to one lucky winner.
An impressive line-up of great bike builders were also present at this year's festivities and had motorcycles on display at the Seminole Hard Rock Roadhouse. The machines on display were built by Paul Yaffe, Eddie Trotta, Anthena Ransom and the late Jerry Graves.

The 22nd Annual SFPC Christmas Toys in the Sun Run was held Sunday, December 6, with all proceeds going to benefit the Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital Foundation. Thousands of bikers participated in this year's ride and raised $75,000. 

Biker Bash 2009 festivities included a myriad of police-escorted rides to some of the area's hottest spots, great food, open bars, live music and casino fun as motorcyclists celebrated their passion for riding while helping the children of Southern Florida.
