The Red Knights No. 6 is committed to helping families impacted by fire and plan to participate in numerous fund raising activities with all proceeds going toward the local community. 
 
Events are posted on the group’s Facebook page.  You do not have to ride to attend – everyone is welcome.
 
Members, along with the community, have put together a burn closet for families affected by fire.  We have clothing, household items, furniture, etc.  Donations are also accepted.
