OurStory
Built by First Responders.
Powered by Community.
Steel Patriots Motorcycle Club Inc. is an independent Michigan corporation organized as a nonprofit and recognized as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization (EIN 83‑4360968). Formed by first responders who wanted to keep serving off‑duty, the club unites riders who are committed to supporting their brothers and sisters in law enforcement and fire service, along with the families and communities that stand behind them.
What began as a small group of riders has grown into a statewide network of supporters, events, and fundraisers focused on honoring sacrifice and making a tangible difference.
OurMission
Our mission is simple
and serious:
- Provide financial support to the families of police officers and firefighters killed or injured in the line of duty.
- Fund lifesaving devices and other critical equipment for police and fire agencies throughout the state of Michigan.
- Stand beside families and children facing medical crises by supporting a room at the Ronald McDonald House at Mott Children’s Hospital for ICU families and helping fund wishes through The Rainbow Connection, sending children battling life‑threatening illnesses to Disney World.
Everything we do, from a local bike night to a major charity run is driven by this mission.
WhoWe Are
First Responders
in the Saddle
Steel Patriots membership is primarily comprised of current and retired law enforcement officers and firefighters, along with select supporters who share our values of service, honor, and integrity. Our club is led by an elected Board of Directors, all volunteers who receive no compensation for their work.
We uphold a strong code of conduct that reflects the responsibility of the badges our members wear, the oaths they’ve taken, and the trust their communities place in them.
HowWe Serve
From the Station to
the Street to the Open Road
We combine our passion for motorcycles with our dedication to public service. Through organized rides, charity events, sponsorships, and community partnerships, we raise funds that go directly where they’re needed most:
- To families grieving a fallen hero or caring for an injured first responder.
- To departments that require vital medical and safety equipment.
- To organizations that support children and families in their darkest hours.
When you support Steel Patriots, you know exactly who you’re helping, real Michigan families, agencies, and kids.
WhyIt Matters
Because Heroes
Deserve Backup
Our first responders step into danger so others don’t have to. Too often, when tragedy strikes, their families are left to navigate loss, injury, and financial strain on their own. Steel Patriots exists to make sure they are not forgotten.
By riding, donating, sponsoring, or simply showing up, you stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with those who put everything on the line for us.
