Every April we spend a long weekend in Yuma Arizona raising donations to help children in need.
The Norwalk Centaurs Motorcycle Club has been hosting this camping event for 51 years. 
 
 
As you can see, the weather was pretty nice for Yuma again this year. We never know what it will be like. We have had rain, high winds and blistering heat. We have even had snow coming over the pass from So. Cal.
 
The run participants make donations to come to our event which we then give to various charities. Some of these include Make-A-Wish Foundation, Yuma Firefighter Children Burn Survivors, Ambelry's Place, ARC of Yuma County, Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and many others.

With approximately 3000 riders coming in for the weekend the line can get pretty long...
 

 
 
We cover all aspects of the biker community; from hard core 1% to the white collar professionals with kids. 
 
 
 
Camping is free, just ride in and set up camp wherever you choose. We have vendors galore, food everywhere a few bands and the motorcycle stunt team...
 
 
It is long hours and lots of hard work to put on this event, but it is all worth it to see everyone having a great time and knowing that all that effort is rewarded by helping all those kids.
