Event Description:

The Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America, one of the most successful and popular charity rides in the country, is coming to Kooskia on May 14 for its 23rd annual motorcycle trek! Former NASCAR driver and NBC Sports racing analyst Kyle Petty will lead 200 bikers on a weeklong, 2,400-mile route to raise funds and awareness for Victory Junction – a camp dedicated to providing life-changing camping experiences for children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses. As a result of the Ride, 7,985 children have attended Victory Junction at no cost to their families. Last year alone, the Ride raised more than $1 million, sending 100 children to camp. Victory Junction has served as the Ride’s primary beneficiary since its establishment by Petty and his family in 2004 in honor of his late son, Adam. Several celebrity riders will also be on the cross-country trek, including: • NASCAR legends Hershel McGriff, Harry Gant, and Donnie Allison • Former NFL great Herschel Walker • Heisman Trophy winner (1980) George Rogers We encourage fans to come support the cause and greet the riders when they stop in Kooskia. Spectators along the route may also purchase memorabilia or contribute to the Ride’s “Small Change. Big Impact.” program, which accepts donations at each stop. Information about scheduled pit stops, as well as any updates or changes to the route, can be found on the Ride’s Facebook page. Be sure to arrive 15 minutes early to cheer on the riders as they enter your town!
