On April 14, the Bradenton 1511 Elk Riders hosted a day of fundraising activities, including a raffle, silent auction and bike run, raising $14,600 for Cole Young, who was selected as the Riders’ Brain Injured Child (BIC) for 2023-2024. During the presentation, an additional $400 was collected to make an even $15,000 donation.
