The two-hour self-guided and family-friendly motorcycle ride ended at the Indians' baseball field, where attendees received a t-shirt and tickets to an Indians game that night.

year the organization raises money through events to support
projects and programs that help children with cancer.
One event that took place in 2015 was the annual charity
motorcycle ride called Ride the Bases. Now in its four year,
the most recent ride took place on August 16. Hosted by
Lone Wolf Harley Davidson and the Spokane Indians minor

lasted about two hours and ended on the Indians’ field.
