The Hopkinsville Indian Motorcycle Riders Group (IMRG) raised money for and donated stuffed animals to the Pennyrile Children's Advocacy Center (PCAC) during their Saturday morning "Ride for Vibe" event.
Daniel Conner, president of the IMRG, said he had wanted to run a fundraiser for some time, and "God laid it on [his] heart" to aid the PCAC.
"We're trying to help to humanize the biker culture," Conner said. "If you're sitting at a red light, a lot of people will look and they'll see a group of bikers next to them and they'll lock their doors or roll their windows up or something like that. We're trying to help change that stereotype."
IMRG Vice President Greg Gibson Jr. said the group tries "to give to the community as much as possible," especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. The group previously contributed to Toys for Tots and Bikers Who Care, but this marked their first big fundraising event.
