12th Annual Jenni’s Ride Around the Lakes

Jenni Ann Harmon was a 2006 graduate of Gilford High School. After graduating, she followed the vocation of serving others by registering for an EMT course with the Gilmanton Fire Department. On December 14th, 2006, she was driving to her final written exam, and was tragically killed after veering on a sharp turn. At only nineteen, she left behind deeply loving friends, mentors, and family. She was graciously certified posthumously by the GFD. The Harmon Family have helped graduating seniors of the Lakes Region pursuing education in emergency, medical, and public services with a scholarship since 2007. Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation has been working with local donors—businesses, community organizations, and families hoping to honor loved ones—to financially assist local students with higher education since 1956.
Jenni’s Ride is our yearly event to raise funds for the Jenni Ann Harmon Memorial Scholarship. The ride is an estimated 100 mile scenic loop around the Lakes Region with 1-2 stops along the way. We begin and end at the Belknap Sportsman’s Club in Gilford, NH, and a BBQ with raffles and silent auction will take place at the end, as well as a corn hole tournament for the chance at the 50/50 prize. Those who do not ride may still attend the BBQ and/or sign up for the tournament.
Ride Registration: 8-10am, $25 per person (kickstands up promptly at 10am)
BBQ and Tourney: 12pm
BBQ admission only: $15
Tournament entry: $25 per pair
Cash is welcome day of, but registration is available online at https://jennisride.betterworld.org/
Jenni loved motorcycles from the start. She loved to ride, and never missed a Laconia Bike Week since 1987. She also loved summers in the Lakes Region, and invited everyone for her annual birthday bash on July 31. As her family, we choose to keep the tradition going with this event on the weekend of her birthday every year. While our first hope is to generate attendance to celebrate Jenni, we also welcome donations from anyone who feels called to support our mission.
