General Info

Bikers Who Care, Inc. is a non-profit, tax exempt, 501(c)(3) organization of motorcycle enthusiasts dedicated to supporting the community in and around Clarksville, TN. The BWC is an all volunteer group with no paid staff and is currently over 120 members strong.

Every year since the first Toy Run in 1982 the BWC have tackled larger and larger projects. Over the years we have given more than $400,000 to charitable organizations that support improving the lives of children.

In 2003 the City of Clarksville, TN rewarded our long term efforts and dedication by deeding 10 acres of land near downtown to the Bikers Who Care for the purpose of creating a Playground and Park that is Accessible to Handicapped Kids. The land was free but the park will be a major financial undertaking. We have estimated $75,000 for playground equipment alone. Land preparation, roads, parking, bathrooms, maintenance and insurance will all add to the total. The Bikers Who Care are ready for this latest challenge and will make it happen.

Preliminary plans showing playground equipment layout and additional information about the Bikers Who Care is attached.

Please consider helping the BWC make the dream of a Park Accessible to all Kids a reality.

Thank You !!
