* *****Iowa's~Katelynn Stinnett National Memorial Ride** *Created By: njoyzridin* of Bikerornot.com Start Date: 6/13/2009* End Date: 6/13/2009* Start City/State/Zip: Cedar Rapids, IA 52401 **This ride is part of a National Child Abuse Awareness Ride that is being held on the same day in different states across the U.S. The goal is to have each state represented and if successful it will be the first time a ride like this has ever been done.The ride was started as a Memorial Ride in rememberance of Katelynn Stinnett. A 2 yr old little girl who was violently raped,sodomized and beaten. She had to have over 400 staples & stiches in her groin from the rapes, almost every bone in her body was broke and her skull was crushed. Little Katelynn passed away Dec 3, 2008 from her injuries. I have volunteered to co-ordinate the Memorial Ride here for Iowa.The mission for this national ride is to bring awareness to child abuse across our nation and help raise money for this cause. All monies raised from each state will go directly to a childrens charity for that state. The charity chosen for Iowa is Prevent Child Abuse Iowa, http://www.pcaiowa.org/index.html.ABSOLUTELY NO ONE WILL PROFIT FROM ANY MONIES RAISED. EVERY SINGLE PENNEY WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE CHARITY!The details have not been worked out as of yet, this is still in the beginning planning stages but will post things as they go. If there is anyone who may want to help or have any ideas; please feel free to contact me (njoyzridin) here on BON.Com'on IOWA lets help make a differance!! Please help spread the word, anyone is welcomed to partcipate and make this a ride to remember!!Thank you for your support in making this ride a huge success!!Anyone that want to join BikerorNot.com for this ride can do so here.BikerorNot.com Referral ID 41104 ** njoyzridin wrote* at 2/9/2009 2:18:03 PM Ok....thanks for being patient all with getting details worked out. I had heard that Sturgis on the River was that same weekend and was in the process of including this ride into that rally but now since have learned that rally is the following weekend so its back to my original plan. As of now this is what all will be going on: We will be meeting at Metro Harley Davidson in Cedar Rapids, June 13 at 10:00 to start the ride, we will be riding to J&P Cycles then onto Dubuque where we will be stopping, then on down the Mississippi River back into Cedar Rapids and end up at The 5th Gear for the rest of the party. There will be an auction with various packages and items to bid on and also planning on having a wet t-shirt contest for the women to enter and a best bod contest for the men to enter, there will be an entrance fee to enter. I am contacting the Clarion Hotel in Cedar Rapids for discounts on rooms. I am waiting to hear back from a couple different places to confirm things so just as soon as I do the flyer will be finalized and ready to distribute. There have been several who have volunteered to help circulate the flyer...THANK YOU!!!! We need more to help get the word out. Various TV & Radio stations, newspapers are being notfied about this ride as well as businesses. I was going to contact BACA also but there is no chapter here in Iowa. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!! I will keep you posted as more developes.*** njoyzridin wrote* at 1/6/2009 10:36:42 AM Thank you all for joining in this ride!! This is a very important and worth while cause!! Now that the holidays are over I can spend more time getting this all put together. I had done a lot of checking around for a charity here in Iowa, there are several charities in the different cities but found one who is a statewide charity that is very active in promoting child abuse awareness and help so I decided to go with them. Here is the URL for their site. http://www.pcaiowa.org/index.html I have also learned that there is a rally called Sturgis on the River that same weekend in Davenport. A very nice lady from that area has offered to help me in co-ordinating this ride, which I am very grateful!! I am trying to get a plan that will include both events and areas. Patches will be available for all those attending the ride who will want one, if you are wanting a patch please let me know as these have to be ordered. Thanks again everyone!! ** njoyzridin wrote* at 12/19/2008 9:36:16 AM Good morning all. Just wanted to stop in real quick with a couple new things. A flyer has been created for the ride so when all of the details are finalized then we can start circulating it. Please! anyone wanting the flyer to help spread the news of the ride, just let me know. I am looking for a band to play during the party so if anyone knows of a band that might be willing to donate their time would be greatly appreciated. I have inquired on a couple different bands but still looking. I've only lived in Iowa a year so am not familiar with as much as folks from here are, so once again any suggestions/help are most welcomed!! Also by the sounds of it, this could very well turn out pretty big with other bikers outside the BON community joining the event so I am thinking of adding a few more activities to spice things up a bit. 1.) either a ladies wet t-shirt or bikini contest 2.) a best bod contest for the men to enter. Thank you all for joining!! Each day I see someone new signing up. ** * njoyzridin wrote* at 12/15/2008 11:37:46 AM *I just wanted to fill you all in on some ideas I have going on here and PLEASE! if anyone has any suggestions or can help in any way; please contact me. ANY HELP WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED!! I have contacted local friends outside the BON community who are offering their help and said they will also be joining the ride. I plan on contacting all of the TV stations, radio, newspapers, etc with the information regarding this ride to get this announced as public service announcements. I have also learned that J&P Cycles has an event going on that same weekend and will be contacting them in supporting the efforts of this ride. My idea for this ride is for it to be 1). A scenic ride 2) an auction after the ride then 3)the party. I will be looking for a band to play during the party. I will be contacting various businesses for any donations for the auction, so please once again has anything to donate or if anyone can help that would be wonderful! So far the tentative planned ride will be leaving from the Harley Store here in Cedar Rapids, going on up to J&P Cycles, then onto Dubuque for a stop at a local biker bar then along the Mississippi River down to the quad cities then back to Cedar Rapids. I will be contacting different hotels to see about group rates. Please any comments or suggestions are most appreciated!! Thanks everyone!!!** Crickett~ NATL KATELYNN STINNETT RIDE COORDINATOR wrote* at 12/13/2008 6:48:45 PM Just wanted to drop in and thank eveyone for showing their support for little Katelynn and others in our country like her that are abused everyday.
