The Pigs are teaming up with The Friends of the Northland Veterans. “Ride for Vets” will take place to raise money for a Veterans awareness campaign and for Veterans projects already underway. In addition to awareness, we also hope to assist Project New Hope in Wisconsin. We can purchase equipment that will help them continue their mission for local Vets.

We would like to thank you for your support in advance,

Sincerely,

A benefit was held on February 27th at Mr. Lucky’s Bar, for Tina O. She was cancer free for five years and now is facing stage four breast cancer. The benefit pool  tournament was great way to support Tina and her cause. Thanks goes out to all of the patrons and Pigs that attended.

We can all continue to support breast cancer research by donating to sites like this:

Thanks goes out to all of The Pigs that participated in the bell ringing last Christmas.

Dear Friends,

The holiday season is now well behind us but your work and generosity have not been forgotten. We are seeing it used everyday as we continue to serve those in need right here in our community. Your donation of time has brought in donations that enable us to fulfill our mission of helping those in need for the next coming year. We have seen such an increase in need, however, the generosity has been more abundant then ever.

Just this holiday season we gave out over 1,000 food baskets, served a record breaking 106 Adopt-A-Families, and made over 1,200 children happy with gifts. This is a remarkable accomplishment made possible by you. To show our appreciation, please join us for our annual appreciation dinner. It’s time for us to celebrate you, our volunteers and your precious gifts of time.

God Bless,

MRM

Thanks goes out to a few good Pigs. It was cold, but that didn’t stop The Pigs from helping  out The Salvation Army at the Superior Walmart.

Ringing for the Salvation Army

Members of the Pigs motorcycle riding group gather around Chris Smith during a Sept. 12 benefit for the Superior teen. Smith, who has Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy, gets out in public rarely, said his mother, Marie. What made the event extra special was when about 50 Pigs pulled up on their motorcycles to make Smith an honorary member of the group. The pack of bikers began the group about two years ago with a focus on riding together and helping others.

Chris and the Pigs

Chris says Thank you all very much He is VERY PROUD TO BE A PIG. Thanks for making his day guys.
