The Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF) is issuing the following release at the request of ABATE of Louisiana, Inc. The MRF urges all riders and motorcycling organizations to support the ABATE of Louisiana Relief Fund in their time of need.
"After speaking with James “Poet” Sisco it is apparent that many ABATE members have lost everything,” said MRF President Karen Bolin. "I applaud James and ABATE of Louisiana for their efforts."
From ABATE of Louisiana Inc. State Executive President James “Poet” Sisco
ABATE of Louisiana Inc. is taking the lead in assisting the motorcycling community here in Louisiana now that we are back up and running. We are asking for cash donations to assist motorcyclists who have been displaced or require other help. We will disburse these donations on a case-by-case basis according to the greatest need and what assistance is available to the individual at the time.
We will only take credit where credit is due, of course, and all donations from other State Motorcyclists’ Rights Organizations and individuals will be credited to them on our website on the supporters’ page. None of the donations will be kept by our organization. We will disburse every penny received to those that are deemed truly needy.
All donations should be mailed to our corporate mailing address so the State Treasurer can track the donations and facilitate the disbursements as directed by ABATE of Louisiana’s Executive State Board. The corporate address is: P.O. Box 541 St. Amant, LA 70774.
Any Louisiana motorcyclists affected by this disaster should contact Abate of Louisiana Inc. We are here for you in your time of need and we will assist in any way possible. You are our brothers and sisters and it is YOU we are here to serve as your state’s MRO!
