Organizers say proceeds from the three-hour motorcycle ride benefit Adopt-A-Family during the holidays.

“Last year, money raised at Highway to Help assisted dozens of families who received gifts and necessities they could not have otherwise afforded to buy,” event organizers said.

All riders were encouraged to pre-register online for the ride and lunch. Riders were also able to register at the event, which kicked off at 10 a.m.
