On October 14, 2001, almost 2000 bikes registered and attended the first ever Freedom Ride. The proceeds of the ride were donated to the NY Widows and Children Fund to help with the devastating losses our country suffered as a result of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Nothing will ever replace the lives lost, but the Tulsa area bikers did their part to ease the suffering, raising over $20,000 to send to the New York fund.

Mayor M. Susan Savage, declared the day Freedom Ride day and issued this proclamation. Click the image to see a larger version of the proclamation in its own window.
