Chapter D donated to the local Itawamba county schools. In conjunction with Chapter C, school supplies we purchased and donated to local schools that were much needed.
Fairview Attendance Center, Dorsey Elementary, Tremont Attendance Center, and both Fulton and Mantachie Head start received school supplies as well as personal hygiene items.
Thank you for all you do, if not for the publics support we could not do all we do.
We like to thank everyone that came out and supported us by buying chances on our recliner giveaway. Your support means a lot to us as a Chapter and to the kids that we help. Thank you.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!! Here is the winner of the recliner Tessa Clayton
I want to take a minute and thank a very special group of people. These people work hard each and everyday continuing to carry out our mission as DreamRiders.
They all have loving and caring hearts for the Kids of our community and surrounding areas and they have a love for DreamRiders Chapter C.
It is very important to me to let my community know how much we as a Chapter appreciate your support but without these special individuals and our community support none of this would be possible.
With that being said. I want to thank all my members of Chapter C for all the hard work and time that y’all have put into making this chapter successful and being able to help out the kids. Y’all are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. Love you all.
Thank you.

Christmas is fast approaching. Dream Riders Chapter C will be doing a toy drive this year. Toys R Us was our main sponsor every year during Christmas but they have gone out of business so we are having to seek elsewhere for donations. We are asking you and our community to help us continue to be able to hand out toys and help families as we have always done during this special time of the year but we can’t do it this year without your help.
We ask that all toys are new for boys or girls of any age.Toys can be dropped off at Piggly wiggly of Amory, Life Springs of Amory both Renasant Bank locations in Amory and Hardee’s of Amory. We have added a donate button if anyone would like to give any money that will also go towards helping out for this special cause.Or you can mail your donation to

Please feel free to share this post and spread the word to family and friends. Drop off day ends December 1st. Thank you.
ITS ALL ABOUT THE KIDS!!!
Chapter A, had a ball today helping make a difference in this young mans life along with his new family.
We got a call from the Clarksdale JA needing help building a ramp for this young man which was and honor to do so even had some help from these young ladies as well.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO! Without your help we could not lend a helping hand up!
Chapter H members had never heard of the EARS program in Houston. The Education Awareness Resource Service has been lending a huge helping hand in the Houston community for several years now.
Dream Riders Chapter H was honored to be a part of the graduation ceremony, where our president “Rooster” Gann was asked to come and say a few words to the class. As a group, we gave out goodies and mingled with the kids and teachers.
We all had a good time talking to the teachers and helpers the volunteer their time freely to help children in our community succeed.
Thank you for all you do, to those teachers that volunteer their love of teaching and love for children and love for making our community strong.
Fishing Rodeo in Houston MS was another great success. Dream Riders Chapter H was honored to be able to help again.
This was the 3rd year of the fishing rodeo held at Legion Lake in Houston, and from the beginning Chapter H has been there from the beginning.
We have grown every year in numbers of children that attend. It has been an extreme pleasure to see the smiles on the faces of the kids that catch a fish for the very first time. And to see parents with their kids having a good time and working together to catch THE BIG ONE.
There are always prizes and give-a-ways for all the kids, and hot dogs for lunch provided by Woodman of the World.
This year we also had Community Addiction Awareness, an organization that helped out in maintaining order and lending out a helping hand to kids and family that needed assistance during the rodeo.
This is such a fun event and Chapter H is proud to be able to serve the community at this event.
Thank you again for all you do, without your help we could not continue to do what we do.
Chapter H heard about Jess through our member Herb. Jess is 17 and goes everywhere on his bicycle because of his physical disabilities.
As a rule each Dream Rider Chapter does not have a specific region to work in, but when we come across a need that may be closer to a specific chapter, we dont just hand off information to that chapter and walk away. We try to share in the joy of helping a child in need and strengthening our relationships.
This is where Jess fell, Chapter A & H worked together to fill the need that he had. Then came together to deliver and share smiles and love with the family.
Jess is a very special young man and will hold a place in our hearts for ever.
Thank you for all you do, if not for help and donations of our comunity we couldn’d do what we do.
Chapter A spent the day at Thunder on the Water at Grenada MS.
It was a great day meeting new people and getting the word out about what we do.
Thank you for all you do, thank you Grenada Lake and Thunder on the Water for your hospitality.
The first weekend of June is when the annual Bridgette Raine’s Scholarship ride is held in Coffeeville MS. This year, 2018, happen to be the 20th year of our organization. So many children have taken hold of the Dream Rider’s hearts and allowed us to show them and their family love.
The winner of our Bridgette Raine’s scholarship this year was a young man by the name of Olton Kent. We wish him all the best in his future education and endeavors.
The day continued with great food and fellowship. With new and old members getting to know each other.
To wrap things up for the day was a bike show. So many great bikes to choose from its never easy on the judges, but they managed to choose some awesome bikes.
It was a Great Day to be a Dream Rider.
Thank you for all you do!
Dream Rider’s Chapter H held there annual spaghetti meal back in April as a fundraiser for our scholarships. We lost a great member of our group a few months ago so we decided to change the name to the “Roundman” Clay Nabors Scholarship Fund. Our group was blessed to have a great turnout for this event.
Not only did the community show up, our family showed out with homemade desserts.
As a group we decided to give only 1 scholarship away for $1000.00 .. our benefit meal went so well that we met again and voted to give 2. It is such an awesome feeling to know our hard work when to help kids that are thriving in society and wants to further their education.
Thank you for all you do!!
Dream Riders Chapter H
If you remember we meet Katelin Grace back in April 2017. Chapter H met with her parents to find out to what extent we could help, if they needed help, what they felt was the most important need that Katelin had, and what was the most important need of the family as a whole, because they did have 3 other children to consider also.
Chapter H teamed up with the church congregation and organized an auction and spaghetti super. Before the actual super, we spent the whole day at the church and provided “Tacos in a bag” , cotton candy and popcorn.
Katelin Grace was diagnosed with many different issues that I am not even going to try to mention. She eventually lost all of her hair and spent many, many, many nights in St. Judes hospital in Memphis TN. Her family spent many night in the Ronald McDonald House, which is one amazing organization all on it’s on.
Back in the summer of 2017 Katelin and her family were told that she had only a few weeks to live. Of course the strong faith in God and belief that she would be comforted, they never slacked up on her meds or prayers. No one else ceased to pray either.
As of December 2017, Katelin Grace made the announcement the she now cancer free. What a celebration that day was when she announced to wonderful news. She stood before the congregation that continued to pray for her and her brothers and sisters in Dream Riders and announced it to the world.
SHE WAS CANCER FREE.!!!!!
Katelin Grace still has issues to deal with and will probably have those for a very long time, but now she was able to go to school, she was able to do some things that any other child her age would get to do.
We are so blessed to call Katelin Grace our sister “SUNSHINE”, and has warmed our hearts as she wants to pay, the kindness showed to her, forward. She has attended some of our events and lent a helping hand, and continues to bring a smile to everyone’s face.
THANK YOU KATELIN GRACE FOR ALL YOU DO !!!
AND THANK YOU FOR YOU DO !!
For three years now, in November, we have hosted a stew cooking fundraiser. Houston Fire Department is very gracious in letting us use their facility, being right off the square in Houston makes it very convenient.
It takes a lot of time making about 30 gallons of stew, but it is well worth the time to raise money to help kids that may not have a Christmas this year.
Since our first year of hosting the stew cooking, we decided to set this money aside to help with Christmas for local families in need. We all know that whether you get a Christmas gift or not is not a necessity, but the community we serve is so loyal in coming together to help us put smiles on those kids faces, simply because we love the kids of our community.
We had friends come from out of town just to get a bowl of stew and also other Dream Rider members took the ride down to spend the day with us.
Our new Sister “Sunshine” Katlyn Grace also showed up to lend a helping hand. She always brings such joy to all of us. She has overcome some huge obstacles in her short little life but wants to come help us anytime she can.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!!!!
Every year the first weekend in November there is a festival held in Vardaman Ms, it is usually a very big deal, celebrating the harvest of Mississippi Sweet Potatoes.
Dream Riders Chapter H was privileged enough to be able to go and set up to get our mission out to the people of Calhoun County. We have made so many friends and have new family members there as well, we have been very blessed.
Katlyn Grace has become one of our biggest fans and the best little sister we could have. If you remember we had a benefit for her several months back. She has come a long way and has an awesome story to tell.
Another highlight of the day was meeting Mrs. Mississippi United States 2017, Marisa Lepard Farr, she was excited about learning about Dream Riders and all we do.
It was defiantly a great day giving out lil goodies to the kids and informing new friends of what all we do.
Thank you for all you do!!!
Chickasaw Co Development office ask Chapter H again to assist and help Houston PD with traffic and crowd controll for the anual Halloween Boo Bash held on the town square Oct 31, 2017. It is such a full filled time to get to see all the kids dressed up and having a great time.
It is also a privaledge to get to assist the Houston Police Department. The men and wonen in the department have showed support to us on many occasions.
Thank you to all that helped and supported us!!!
Thank you for all you do.
