This year's Wounded Warriors-MN Motorcycle Ride was the most successful ever, according to a news release.
The goal of the Aug. 22 event was to reach out to area veterans and active-duty soldiers in a time of need. This is the 11th year of the event and total proceeds from the ride, ride fees, sponsor donations and a silent auction came to $21,630.
This year's proceeds assisted two local families, as well as the Eagle's Healing Nest in Sauk Centre.
Wounded Warriors-MN retains no money for itself, has no paid employees, is an entirely volunteer organization and is a registered nonprofit organization. Wounded Warriors-MN is an independent organization with no affiliation with the Wounded Warrior Project.
