OUR MISSION: No biker brother or sister, or needy
child go without food, electricity, or medical needs
while suffering from an injury.
Hello everyone, my name is Mickey Carter (aka) Bear,
founder of Bikers For Bikers Foundation. BFBF is a
NONPROFIT Foundation I founded to assist injured
Bikers and needy Children.
According to the DOT statistics, as of 2006 there were
over 6,600,000 registered bikes in the USA with an
average of a 48% increase every 10 years. However
according to FARS, federal (Fatality Analysis
Reporting System), the number of miles ridden per
rider has decreased by 31% but, the number of
fatalities has risen by 89%! Who pays the electricity,
buys groceries, or takes care of medical needs not
covered by insurance when a biker is injured? And,
there are a lot of injured bikers. According to DOT
HS 811 172 report there were 96,000 reported
motorcyclist injuries in 2008 and 5290 bikers died.
Like most of the biker community I was too proud to
ask for help after I went down. I had no way to pay my
bills & no help. When I started this foundation it was
with pocket change I saved up. After a year I had
enough to get started, go through the legalities, and
become a legal 501(c)(3) under Public Charity status
170(b) (1)(A) (vi), trademarked, nonprofit foundation
that is registered with the IRS.
We know the economy is bad, but will the economy
help you or your comrad if you/them are injured?
BFBF may be able to. I am an O.S.B. I believe in
stopping & helping one of our own. And, I believe that
if there are over 6 million bikers in the USA, we
should be able to help our own when they are injured
and needy. They shouldn't have to go without food,
heat, water, or medical needs.
All the work with BFBF is done by me, the founder,
volunteers, members, & supporters. To date all monies
are made through contributions, fund raisers, the sale
of patches & memberships, Poker Runs, and 50/50
drawings and picking up pennies. ALL funds raised are
deposited into a bank account until needed, then
dispersed to injured Bikers and Children to help in
their time of need & are dispersed to the most severe
cases first. There are no paid employees.
In order to receive these funds you must first provide
documentation with a completed application. The
funds paid out do not have to be paid back. All we ask
for you to do is make a contribution back to the
Foundation when you are back on your feet and able
to support yourself again. Please contribute what you
can, spare pocket change, $1.00, $2.00, what ever you
can afford, or support us by buying a membership/
patch. No contribution is too small. Without your help
and support the foundation cannot continue to help
our injured brothers & sisters.
To become a member, buy a patch, or make a one time
donation please, go to the navigation bar at the top

Every penny is put to good use & every penny counts.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Just a few of the things we have done this past year:
Paid a car note for a biker who hasn't been able to work
due to multiple surgeries after injuries from an accident.
His car was to be reposed the next day and was all the
transportation he had left.
Helped a biker get his utility bills paid after suffering a
heart attack & winding up in open heart surgery.
Helped a sick biker pay for his oil/heat cost because he
could no longer work.
Helped a terminally ill biker who could no longer work get
central air & heat.
Helped with living expenses for a biker who went down,
broke his leg, & couldn't work.
Helped Father Christmas with a donation & toys for the
sick children in the hospital at Christmas.
Helped with toys/food for kids who are underprivileged
and would have no Christmas.
Helped a lady biker with medical bills so she could get
treatment.
Helped a lady biker with a crippling disease get gas, hot
water, & food.
And, the list goes on....
