Get ready to ride! It's the final meeting before we head to Memphis with a GREAT BIG CHECK to help kids with cancer! Tonight, you'll pick up your clothing and ride packet for the trip and cover any last minute details. The St. Jude Rides event began in 2007. It is an annual motorcycle ride to Memphis, TN that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Learn more about fundraising, rider requirements for the ride to Memphis, TN, tour the campus of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The ride leaves Walters Brothers Harley-Davidson on September 10, 2026 for a Police Escorted Ride with several hundred motorcycles. The first day, we ride to Dyersburg, TN for a welcome reception and an overnight stay. Friday morning, we await the arrival of the satellite rides coming in from Lacon, IL, Dyersburg, TN, Des Moines, IA, Kansas City, Kansas City, MO, Chicago, IL, Nashville, TN, Dallas, TX, and Dothan, AL to begin the final trek into the St Jude Childrens Hospital Campus along with 300ish of your fellow Motorcyclists for a welcome reception like no other. This is an emotional experience you will never forget! After the check presentation, it's time to head to dinner and if your up to it - join the group and head to Beale Street and enjoy celebrating another year of fundraising for the kids.
Through our efforts – in the past eighteen years, this event has raised over $13.2 Million dollars for the Kids of St. Jude! Last year over 230 motorcycles and their passengers raised $1.4 Million. This year we want to break a huge record of $1.5 Million in one year!
Join us to learn more about helping St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital to lead the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – so they can focus on helping their child live.
