Biker Belles was created in 2008 to raise awareness of the passion, diversity and spirit of women in motorcycling and to raise funds for local worthy charities. To date, Biker Belles has raised over $180,000 for these charities.
The Buffalo Chip’s annual Biker Belles charity celebration includes an Annual Women’s Bike Show, kicks off with The Morning Ride™ on a journey from the Lodge at Deadwood to the Buffalo Chip’s CrossRoads where participants experience the Comfort Zone by Team Diva, a catered lunch and Coffee Clutch featured speakers including leading women in the motorcycle industry.
Contributions from the event support several charities including the Sturgis Motorcycle Museum and Hall of Fame to help develop and enhance women’s exhibits to promote our mission of honoring our past and empowering our future, The Jessi Combs Foundation which helps teach women valuable skills to enhance the next generation of women tradespeople, and Helping with Horsepower, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that empowers and encourages women and girls who are at risk or are victims of abuse. The organization has developed several programs that have shown proven results including their SpiritHorse Program, Entrepreneur Experience and the nationally recognized Helping With Horsepower Bike Rebuild Program.
