On Friday, June 21, Jarheads MC was riding to a charity event at the local American Legion (Post #82) in Gorham, New Hampshire. The pack was struck by an oncoming vehicle and 5 patch holders along with 2 supporters lost their lives.
Many others were injured and the devastation of this horrific accident will impact those families and friends forever.
The Dirty Jersey Chapter of Leathernecks MC has brought together Bergen County Harley Davidson, Marine Corps League, Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion, Legion Ride and American Flat Track to create a benefit where 100 per cent of the proceeds will go to the Jarheads MC families. These organizations are dedicated to helping mitigate some of the financial burden for the families left behind after this tragic event.
The event will take place at Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment on Sunday, July 28 from 12 noon to 6 p.m. It will feature food trucks, merchandising vendors and musical entertainment by Madison Rising. Tickets can be purchased at the door for $30 and will include admission and BBQ lunch (from 12 - 3 p.m.) provided by Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment.
“We are grateful to be able help these families during such a difficult time and welcome everyone who can attend for what is sure to be a memorable afternoon,” states Andrea Lokshin, VP of Marketing & Sales.
