A local biker group is raising money to help the families of injured or deceased bikers.
The charity is called Brother to Brother.
The President Darwin Davis says they've been up and running for about a year and a half.
He says they provide money helps cover basic expenses like food, medication and other services for families of injured or deceased bikers the first few months after a serious accident.
Davis says they have 148 members, but not all are bikers.
He says they accept all members no matter what type of motorcycle you ride.
"If a biker goes down or passes this charity steps up the first couple of months to help the families with food, rent, electric, things like that. We have volunteers to provide at home care, we're even ready to cut lawns," says Davis.
David Steinbrook says he suffered several injuries while he was riding his motorcycle.
"I got a broken leg, 5 fractures on the skull, tore my ear apart, my eye socket, a broken chest, and a little road rash here and there," says Steinbrook.
Steinbrook says on July 19th he was t- boned by a deer, on highway D, North of Matton, which is South East of Antigo.
He says he spent 2 and a half days in the intensive care unit at the hospital and Brother to Brother came to his aid.
"I don't have any insurance so my prescriptions were about $100 a week and they helped me with that and a little bit of everything, " says Steinbrook.
Davis says their latest fundraiser is a raffle. They are selling $50 tickets for a chance to win a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
"It's a Dyna wide glide 105th Anniversary Edition. Only 2000 were made this is number 490 off the line, this is also the last year they are making they Dyna wide glide so it adds a little more special. It also has $450 worth of 105th emblems on it so it's not just out of the factory," says Davis.
Davis says the raffle is scheduled for September 20th at Petticoat Junction in Antigo. For more information on where you can buy a raffle ticket call Petticoat Junction at (715) 627-1309.
Latest Comments
I have concerns about the people managing the Petticoat Junction bar in Antigo and taking peoples money for charity. The org Brother to Brother should be checked into because according to public records on the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access web site Darwin Davis has open drug charges pending, bail jumping and has failed to register with the WI Sexual Offenders Web Site for second degree sexual assault of a child. Over the years I have had concerns about this person using other peoples money for personal gain. How many folks complained about the carpet cleaning business they paid and have not received services. That is why I think the Brother to Brother Org. should be checked into. How much is being pocketing for drug related money and to make payments on personal debts and pleasure unrelated to bikers needs. I think someone who has TRUST within the community should handle that raffle for the Harley.
