My experience with this foundation and what they have accomplished over the years has been excellent. They have done a great job funding breast cancer research in S.E. Wisconsin and have contributed to several important studies at the Medical College of WI and ProHealth. I like knowing donations go toward research and they operate with volunteers that are dedicated and want to make a difference. The main fundraising event is fun, well organized and brings together people who are passionate about finding a cure for breast cancer.
The Great!

Wish list includes that the media would recognize the overwhelming popularity of the annual fundraising event in an effort to increase awareness to people that want to make donations to support the efforts of this foundation and that they would give due recognition and prominent publicity.

I have had several opportunities to interact with Committee members, Foundation Members, and the many volunteers who work extremely hard in their roles to raise funds for the Rock River Cancer Research Foundation. That said, I have to agree with the comments of "Poolboy." However, no comments or opinions matter to me as much as those of Dr. Carol Williams, PhD, and her associates at the Medical College of Wisconsin. Dr. Carol is quoted in many articles expressing her gratitude for the financial support she has received as a result of these combined efforts. Her exciting and ongoing research would surely suffer without this funding. As I have said to others in the groups mentioned above, "If you have an ego, check it at the door. If you share the passion of these many dedicated volunteers - WELCOME! Join the cause." Go Rock River HOG! Keep the funds flowing for the RRCRF! Great cause - great group!

I read the recently posted review regarding the individual who insinuates that one person is somehow single handedly raised over 2 Million dollars. It's a shame that personal egos and politics can tarnish the extremely hard work of the Rock River HOG Chapter. Our annual event, Ridin' to a Cure, has raised close to $4 million in the last 16 years for a cause that can and does touch every family, breast cancer. All net proceeds go directly to the Rock River Cancer Research Foundation. The moneys granted are explicitly ear marked for breast cancer research and stay in southeastern Wisconsin.
As happens with any volunteer organization that is worth the effort, the passions and commitments required to make it work, usually are driven by strong personal opinions. Those strong opinions can, of course, often do cause some conflicts. As is normal, there are two sides to every story. I only hope that anyone reading reviews about this foundation and it's goal, realize that hundreds of volunteers, not any one individual, have put a great amount of sweat and effort into making this foundation's mission a successful one.
