On June 26, The Godfathers Motorcycle Club hosted their 1st Annual Geared Up For Kids at The DeKalb Outdoor Theater. The event was free to attend and bring your families to enjoy the multiple bounce houses, games, hot dogs and cotton candy. The Godfathers had a great turnout of bikes for the fun and live auction and raffles with an abundance of great donated items.
On the stage all day were several bands that entertained guests and the band Rekt closed out the evening. Our organization would like to send out a big thank you to all the members of the Godfathers that put their hearts into making this event so special and so successful! The group presented Children First Center a check from the event last week for $10,257!
