We believe in giving back to the community that gives to us. Every year we hold an annual motorcycle show that is our platform for raising funds for various charities. There is no way that Chariots of Fire could pull off all of these events without our volunteers. We are sincerely and gratefully appreciative of each and every one of our volunteers. So blessed are we! Not only do we have individuals that help us out, but over the years have also developed lasting relationships with local organizations that we support and they support us in return. Individuals and organizations alike have contributed their time and energy to Chariots of Fire Customs LLC over the years.

For those of you that don’t know, I am an occupational therapist working within the pediatric realm, mostly in the schools. At the time I had several high school students with developmental delays and one of the goals is to assist them in getting ready to transition from school to the work force. Village of the Blue Rose is a great little bed and breakfast and restaurant between Clarksville and Louisiana Missouri off of scenic Hwy 79 (for reservations call 573-242-3464 or 573-242-3539). Village of the Blue Rose employs adults with developmental delays providing a loving work environment and housing for those that may not otherwise find employment. Right up my ally! By year three I had a wonderful volunteer staff that took a lot of stress off the preparations and wondering how was I going to pull off another event. . . with volunteers of course! Music was provided by The Big Easy.
Jan and I had been on the Bikers for Babies ride in 2005 and were planning on going again in 2006. Tiny, as many of you may know, was very heavily involved in Bikers for Babies. Tiny had stopped by the shop quite a few times earlier in the year and really talked up all the good that the March of Dimes was doing for infants, so Jan & I thought it a worthy cause. Entertainment was Ben Wah Bob. More time meant more goodies were collect as door prizes. I tried being more organized with my volunteers and found our micro managing does not workJ A valuable lesson that has served me well in the following years.
This first fundraiser was thrown together fairly quickly as we had only been open since March of 2005. I knew Cassie from both Sacred Heart Parish and Troy Buchanan High School. Cassie had a brain tumor and we decided to do what we could to raise money to offset the cost of her rising medical bills. Cassie was a vibrant young lady always with a smile to give. She will be missed. A fellow parishioner, Dale Hollis, provided the entertainment as a DJ that first year. Our new vendors sent us some goodies for giveaways. We contacted local organizations and asked them to come and set up tables and had a few vendors. I found out what a giving community we live in and how valuable my volunteers are. And thus was born the annual Chariots of Fire Customs LLC Motorcycle Show!
