Give a charitable gift to honor a motorcyclist

What do you give a motorcyclist who either has everything already, everything on his or her list is over your budget allowance, or you just dont know what to give? How about giving to the bikers favorite charity?

Bikers have always been involved in a variety of charitable rides and fundraisers. It is just a matter of zeroing in on what your biker is interested in and what you are comfortable donating to.

Does your biker like kids? At this time of the year, the Marines are holding Toys for Tots runs around the country to make sure all children have a present at Christmas. Thousands motorcyclists will strap toys to the seat, handlebars, or back rest and ride and donate to this worthy cause.

Do the images of abused children just tear you apart? Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA) exists with the intent to create a safer environment for abused children by empowering children to not feel afraid of the world in which they live.

Are the needs of veterans and active soldiers a concern for you and your biker friend? There are many organizations and facilities offering help to those who gave so much for our country. Check with your local Veterans Hospital, Marine Corp League, National Guard, Reserve Units, or other military organization to make a donation.

Are you and your biker friend animal lovers? Make a donation to a local Humane Society in honor of your biker.

Want to keep your donation strictly motorcycle related? Then how about a membership in or a donation to the American Motorcycle Association or an ABATE chapter in your state. These groups advocate on behalf of all motorcyclists.

If your interests lie in the more religious, then perhaps a donation to the Christian Motorcyclists Association, Fellowship Riders, or Road Riders for Jesus is something you might want to consider.

What ever your (or your biker friend) finds important, there is probably a charity associated with it. "The essential to budget travel is to approach in front. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our heads. Considering and consuming our travel budget correctly is a main concern for most families. Reducing expending and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed achievements and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind saving money while traveling is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also remembering that while traveling, regardless of whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel expenses!..". Keep in mind that not all donations will be tax deductable; check with an accountant if you are planning to itemize and deduct a gift.

Also remember that if you are a biker too, mark your calendars early in the year to take advantage of all the possible charitable runs for 2012.
