2427 Moose Riders

We participate in pledge runs, parades,
rallies, overnight rides and hold our own
events. The Moose Riders help to sponsor
and organize the annual Blessing of the Bikes
held on the Mooseheart campus, raising funds
for the children of Mooseheart and other worthy
children’s charities as well as raising funds
for our seniors at Moosehaven. Moose Riders
participate in multi-day rallies and our annual
“Moose Ride 4 Kids” events. Moose Riders also support riding safety
programs like the Rescue Riders, Accident
Scene Management, and Road Docs who
provide advance medical and logistic support
to state and local medical and emergency
response agencies in the event of a natural
or man made disaster or emergency situation. These groups help train riders in cardio-
pulmonary resuscitation, basic first aid
technique, radio response, medical support
and information gathering skills in advanced,
onsite support while waiting for traditional
medical responders. Moose Riders raise funds for Moose Charities,
local and national charities and volunteer for
community service. Moose Rider events as well
as events of the Loyal Order of Moose and
Women of the Moose support the operation of
Mooseheart Child City & School, a 1,000-acre
community for children and teens in need and
Moosehaven a 63-acre retirement community
for Moose members near Jacksonville, FL. We also help to raise funds and volunteer
our time to benefit Scouting, drug awareness,
crime prevention, adopt a highway, adopt a
park, youth and adult sports leagues, scholarship
programs, Toys for Tots, feeding the hungry
and disaster relief efforts. The men and Women
of the Moose Riders also provide assistance
to countless national charities such as MDA,
Arthritis Foundation, American Cancer and Heart
Associations, St Jude Children’s Cancer Research
and veterans’ organizations. All units of the Moose conduct approximately
$90 million worth of community service (counting
monetary donations and volunteer hours
worked) annually.
