Roosters ride with one simple mission... Make a difference!
The RRRC is a 501(c)(3) philanthropic organization designed to raise awareness and funds for worthy causes we feel are important enough to merit attention and support. We do that by raising funds for significant causes and charities that we believe have a profound impact in communities all over the world--whether that be saving children from being trafficked as sex slaves, finding cures for deadly diseases, building houses for the homeless, helping animals find loving homes or so many others. All tax-deductible donations, sponsorships, memberships, motorcycle ride-outs, public events, and sales of branded merchandise contribute to the ultimate goal of simply making difference wherever we find the need.
Many of us have reached the age where our legacies have become significantly more important than when we were younger and feel that it's time to give back a bit. No matter if it's $5 a month to a favored charity or millions for a pet project or cause, philanthropy is a common Rooster trait. We want to help.
"And now abideth faith, hope, and charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:13
The Roosters are committed to making our communities better places to live, and we show it through action. Whether it's volunteer work, youth league coaching, or any other of the myriad ways to participate in the local communities, Roosters get involved. We embrace the golden rule and desire to be a positive influence everywhere we go.
"And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." ~ Luke 7:31
In a world that often feels overwhelmed by hatred, division, racism and prejudice, the Roosters choose a different path. We reject the negativity and divisiveness that dominate much of today’s discourse and instead focus on unity and camaraderie.
We welcome riders of all colors, backgrounds, and nationalities to join us. No matter the challenges, we ride together!
"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." ~ Mark 12:31
As a "motorcycle riding club", one of our primary responsibilities is to promote safe and responsible driving. Fun, yes. Reckless, no. We very much want to enjoy the ride, but not at the expense of our safety or that of others on the road. It's been said that there are old riders, and there are bold riders, but there are no old, bold riders. Let's be safe!
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." ~ 1 Corinthians 13:11
Below, I’ve shared a few of the charities that are close to my heart, along with a short video explaining why they mean so much to me. But please don’t feel obligated to donate to these specific causes just because I do. Instead, I encourage you to discover the causes that resonate with your own passions and give what you can, when you can. Together, we can make a difference in the areas that matter most to each of us. Have a blessed day!

Did you know that at this very moment, there are over 46 million people trapped in slavery around the world? Shockingly, 35% of them are children, many of whom are trafficked as sex slaves. OUR Rescue is on the front lines of this fight, physically rescuing these victims from unimaginable circumstances. Their mission and story are incredibly powerful, which is why this charity holds a special place in my heart.

The Sunrise of Pasco Domestic and Sexual Violence Center provides free shelter in a confidential location in Pasco County, along with comprehensive services for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. Whether or not individuals seek shelter, the center helps them plan for safety and an independent future through individual counseling, advocacy, and support services. Sunrise works to prevent future violence and promote safety by providing training for the community, law enforcement, medical personnel, and educators. They also operate Solutions Thrift Store, where all proceeds support their programs and services.
I have three dogs and one cat, and I can't imagine life without these little fur balls! Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I've spent more of my life with them than without. Many of my pets have been rescues from kill shelters. Honestly, if Heaven doesn't have dogs, I'm not sure I want to go!
That's why I appreciate the SPCA in Lakeland, a no-kill shelter committed to saving thousands of homeless animals. There's likely an SPCA shelter near you where you can make a difference by donating, volunteering, or better yet... adopt a pet!
Around 70 years ago, actor Danny Thomas found himself in a moment of deep desperation—broke, unemployed, and with a pregnant wife. In that challenging time, he prayed a simple prayer to St. Jude, the Patron Saint of Lost Causes: "Show me the way, and I will build you a shrine." That heartfelt prayer led to the creation of St. Jude's Research Hospital, a place where no patient ever pays a cent for life-saving treatments. This was my sister's favorite charity, and she gave as much as she could to support it until the day she died.
My daddy died of Alzheimer's disease on February 16, 2016. He was 74. You can read about that in my book, How to Wipe Your Dad's Ass And Other Things His Doctor Won't Tell You About Alzheimer's". (And yes, it is a disgusting title, but then again, so is the disease. IYKYK)
The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. Their vision is a world without Alzheimer's tomorrow.
Mom passed away from lung cancer on Thanksgiving morning in 2023 at the age of 79. The loss is still very fresh, and I miss her every single day. Cancer has been a devastating presence in our family, claiming the lives of her mother, aunt, and sister. There's no sugarcoating it—cancer sucks.
The American Cancer Society is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by cancer and their families. Through advocacy, research, and patient support, they work tirelessly to ensure that everyone has a fighting chance to prevent, detect, treat, and survive this disease.
