Bikers With Heart Foundation Inc. is a widely respected 501C-3 non-profit charitable motorcyclist organization that has found an audience and support within the Motorcyclist Community over the last 5 years. Bikers With Heart Foundation (BWHF) has partnered with the Martin Luther King Foundation (MLKF) fundraising to offset the 18 million dollar shortage currently being faced by the MLKF to meet the construction/operational funding of the Martin Luther King (MLK) Memorial scheduled for completion on the Washington, DC Mall in 2008. Both organizations have agreed to work as one to put into effect a fundraising and awareness campaign among the 8.8 million motorcyclists, enthusiasts and various commercial entities that make up the motorcycle community.

On January 19 – 21, 2007, over 1000+ motorcyclists met in Atlanta, GA for the 4th Annual Public Relation Officers (PRO) Convention at the Renaissance Concourse Hotel. Bikers With Heart Foundation Founder Howard “Dirty Dealer” Clifton Jr. announced to over 1000+ motorcyclists from across the country the MLK Memorial Foundation’s requests for donations and distributed over 300 pamphlets requesting donations from each respective club and individual. MLKF & BWHF also announced our commitment to organize the:

MLK Memorial - Million Motorcyclists Motorcade” or M5 Project
August 29 – Sept 1, 2008 (Labor Day Weekend)


On the 45th Anniversary Weekend recognizing the March on Washington, DC. which resulted in a standing ovation after the announcement.

We are officially calling upon the American/International community and motorcycle brotherhood to organize and participate in the construction of the MLK Memorial by supporting the MLK Memorial Million Motorcyclists Motorcade campaign (M5 Project) among the millions of community activists around the world, motorcycle clubs, social clubs and charitable organizations. It is our intention to rally 1 million motorcyclists from around the country and in our respective communities to be apart of this historic commitment of honoring a man who gave so much of himself for the rights and freedoms to his fellow man so that generations to come can maintain the given right under the Constitution and the practiced philosophy of judging a person by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, religion, gender or orientation and equal justice for all. Although many of today’s motorcyclists in society were not able or born during the Civil Rights years, we all are the beneficiaries of his commitment and sacrifice that has allowed millions of Americans over the last three generations to prosper as oppose to the millions of Americans prior to the Civil Rights movement denied their opportunity to vote, unfair court justice, unrealized dreams, human indignities, career advancement, fair housing, financial equity, woman’s choice to pursue a career outside the home or become a Presidential candidate and a host of other economic and political tools this great country has to offer it’s citizens. Many of us may not have been able to “March” during the Civil Rights era, but we sure as heck are ready to “March” today or in our case ride our motorcycles in numbers to celebrate one of America’s greatest heroes and remind our fellow Americans when one American is denied his or her rights, then we all lose our rights to Freedom!
We are asking every motorcyclists, enthusiasts and American citizens from all cross sections of America to become a supporter of the M5 Project.
