How We Help
At Rider SOS Accident Fund, we ride with purpose. As a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit, we are more than just an organization – we’re a family united by our passion for motorcycles and a steadfast commitment to supporting our fellow riders in times of need. Built by riders, for riders, our mission is clear: to stand as a beacon of hope for injured and fallen motorcyclists when they need it most – after a serious accident.
Our vision reaches far beyond providing emergency relief; it extends into the very heart of the motorcycle community. We believe in direct participation, in being an integral part of the world we cherish. By doing so, we aim not only to offer immediate assistance but also to drive motorcycle awareness that, in turn, reduces the prevalence of accidents on the road. We forge meaningful partnerships with other organizations, multiplying the impact and reach of our collective efforts. Everywhere we go, we become a catalyst for awareness and education.
The road to safer riding is paved with collaboration. Through Rider SOS Accident Fund, we have established an unwavering lifeline for riders caught in the aftermath of an accident. Our support services encompass a range of vital resources: from loaning essential medical equipment to ensuring transportation to crucial appointments, from helping care for children and pets to providing essential financial aid.
However, our impact is not achieved single-handedly. It’s the power of community support and unwavering sponsorship that fuels our ability to make a difference. We pledge that all funds raised locally stay within the community, a testament to our commitment to fellow riders and the neighborhoods we call home.
As we ride forward, we carry a dual purpose: to support the injured and fallen riders who need us and to actively shape a future where accidents are reduced through awareness and education. By collectively lessening the frequency of motorcycle accidents, we can focus our efforts on those in critical need, strengthening the impact of our assistance.
Join us in creating a safer, more tightly-knit motorcycle community. Ride alongside Rider SOS Accident Fund as we write stories of resilience, hope, and unity – one mile, one rider, and one partnership at a time. Together, we’re not just changing lives; we’re shaping a movement.
Motorcycle Awareness & Safety
Throughout the year, we host several awareness events and social media campaigns. The less accidents there are, the less strain on the community.
Fee Free Fundraising
Since we are a nationally recognized non-profit, we are able to offer fee-free fundraising. There is never a credit card processing fee for donors or any fees to receive your money. 100% raised goes directly to the rider or their family
Medical Equipment
We have a huge variety of durable medical equipment on hand to loan when needed—everything from hospital beds to crutches.
Meels On 2 Wheels
We will deliver hot, ready-to-eat meals, pre-made meals that need to be reheated and will deliver groceries depending on the injured rider's needs.
Emotional & Spiritual Support
Having an accident or losing a loved one in an accident can be very traumatic. We have a unique team of individuals each able to offer different types of emotional and/or spiritual assistance.
Transportation Assistance
After an accident, the Rider may need rides to or from the store, medical appointments or more. Our volunteers will help as needed.
Vigil Planning Assistance
Planning a memorial vigil is not something most people do regularly, and with already high emotions, it can be difficult. Our volunteers are experienced and willing to help.
Funeral Planning Assistance
Funerals are difficult to plan, expensive, and very stressful. We can help to ease that burden! Our fallen rider committee has worked hard to develop relationships to reduce the costs, and execute the perfect funeral for your loved one.
Household Assistance
Stuck in the hospital and have a pet at home? No need to worry. We have pet sitters, animal groomers, and more, all part of our volunteer team!
And So Much More!
We joke that we haven't been asked for anything we couldn't find a way to accomplish, but really, no one has thrown anything our way that we couldn't figure out.
