Toy runs are only one of the many fundraisers that Abate does. Abate's a great group and I belong to my local chapter. You guys should support your states chapter by joining for $20.00 a year. We are a motorcycle rights organization. The main purpose of Abate is to watch and go after any legislation thats anti-motorcycle or anti-rider. We have people and lawyers who go up to your states capital to lobby for us bikers and to go up against any potential legislation that might be detrimental to us. Even if you never attend a meeting the $20.00 really helps to support us and be able to continue. Abate also has a social side with rides, parties and get togethers. Google Abate of (your state) and you will find info.
