THANK YOU TO THE LEADING SPONSOR SUN N’ FUN FOR HOSTING THE RALLY!

We ride in memory of those we’ve lost to suicide, in support of families navigating the aftermath, and for those who struggle daily in silence. Our mission is to break the stigma, bring awareness, and provide resources to those in need—because no one should face this battle alone.

🔹 The Ride – A fully escorted ride bringing together bikers, all vehicles, veterans, and mental health advocates to raise awareness and show support.

🔹 The Rally – A community gathering after the ride featuring entertainments, guest speakers, many support resources, vendors, food trucks, and so much more!

Love Surrounds You™ is partnering with, Harley Davison, the Infidels Motorcycle Club, of all active and retired military, Revolution Church, and other positive organizations to raise awareness about suicide and mental health. We raise money for scholarships to help those in our local community find support, resources and hope by unifying the community. Motorcycle Riders, Clubs, Ministries from all over the country come together for the same common purpose. If you are interested in participating or volunteering, please reach out to us. We want to bring the community together.
