Realities For Children’s Rally kicked off at The Biergarten at Budweiser Brewery and brought 500 people through the gates within the first hour, resulting in SCHEELS and others donating 50 new bicycles to the children RFC serves. Although Friday evening’s festivities moved inside due to pouring rain, that didn’t stop the free concert featuring Nashville recording artist Sean Stemaly, the veteran’s tribute, an indoor stunt show and a surprise donation of $5,000 from Dude Dad. With sunshine and a new start location the next day, thousands of bikers participated in the 22nd annual Realities Ride, raising over $100,000 for children who have been abused, neglected or are at risk in our community.
