lex and terry

The Givers get together with over 1000 of their closest friends in their goal to raise $1,000,000 for The Autism Society of America.
Florida - Lex & Terry’s Ticket to Ride started seven years ago.
The Givers teamed up with Missy Lybrand and Darryl Scott to put together a charity event for the ASA. What started humbly as a local fundraiser has grown to two events and possibly a third one and has raised nearly $1,000,000 over its lifetime.

The Jacksonville event is the mother of all of the events they do every year. The Giver team up with several businesses including Planet Radio 107.3, Venus Swimwear, Adamec’s Harley-Davidson, Carrabba’s, Starbucks, Miller Lite, and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to feed the riders, provide drinks, and give them the chance to bid on some killer stuff. The attendees have the chance to auction on guitars signed by Nickelback, Keiffer Southerland, Jesse James Dupree, and Chris Cornell.

Starbucks caffeinated the riders before the ride. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office closed down the streets of the River City, escorted the ride, and even gave some killer demonstrations including my favorite on picking up a downed bike. Carrabba’s fed the riders some chicken marsala, pasta, and a tasty caesar salad. Miller Lite donated the beer that was sold to raise additional money.

The ride sold out all 750 motorcycle slots to riders from all over the Lex & Terry listening area and beyond. Although we don’t have numbers for this event at press time, we’re certain that the event is well on its way to the $1,000,000 mark.
There was live music, hot babes like the 50/50 raffle girls, great food, cold drinks, and good times! The weather was great and the bikes and babes were hot.
