In years past the Truckin' for Hospice Bike run has brought through Copper up to 500 motorcycles all with one mission in mind...to raise money for Hospice of San Joaquin and Community Hospice.
The riders will stop in Copper at the Old Corner Saloon for lunch and a bit of a break. Please keep you eyes open for motorcycles on the road, look twice and share the road.
In 2002, “Truckin’ for Hospice” was founded to enable the trucking industry to join together to raise money for Hospice of San Joaquin and Community Hospice, Inc. Both Hospices are wonderful non-profit organizations that care for terminally ill patients during their final days by providing in-home care or caring for patients at Community Hospice’s Alexander Cohen Hospice House or Hospice of San Joaquin’s Hospice House. The support services offered to family members after the patients death are also a wonderful asset to the community. Many of our sponsors and riders have had first hand experience with Hospice caring for their family members and know the importance of supporting this wonderful organization.
Our event is presented on behalf of the California Trucking Association-San Joaquin Unit but our sponsors represent a wide range of businesses affiliated with many industries. We have transportation companies, parts and tire suppliers, truck dealers and equipment manufacturers working together to raise funds and awareness for Hospice. In addition, the local Harley Davidson Dealers and custom bike shops have been great supporters of this event. As you can see below, this event has generated an overwhelming support from bikers all over California.
