Charity Ride for Griffin and Jake Prince

 A charity bike ride for Griffin and Jake Prince will be held August 11th in Dawsonville.  This ride and car show will benefit the memorial fund set up for the boys, who were in a boating accident in June.  There is a rain date for the bike ride on September 1st. 

The circumstances could not be any more unfortunate, but “Rumble in the Streets” – a police-escorted motorcycle ride and Classic Car Cruise-In — will be held to benefit the Griffin & Jake Prince Memorial Fund.

Griffin & Jake are the brothers who perished in a boating accident on Lake Lanier in June, 2012.
The 70-mile motorcycle ride is scheduled for Saturday, August 11th, with a rain-date of Saturday, September 1st.

There are few things motorcyclists enjoy more than waving to smiling law enforcement officers while we legally ride our bikes through red lights with hundreds of other bikers.

A classic car show will be held in Dawsonville, GA, where the ride ends.

All proceeds of this memorial ride will go to the Griffin & Jake Prince Memorial Fund.  We will see you there!
