Our Mission: No biker brother or sister, or needy child go without food, electricity, or medical needs while suffering from an injury. Hello everyone, my name is Mickey Carter (aka) Bear, founder of Bikers And Needy Children Foundation (B.A.N.C.). B.A.N.C. Foundation is a NONPROFIT Foundation founded to assist injured Bikers and Needy Children. According to the DOT statistics, as of 2006 there were over 6,600,000 registered bikers in the USA with an average of a 48% increase every 10 years. However according to FARS, (Fatality Analysis Reporting System), the number of miles ridden per rider has decreased by 31% but the number of fatalities has risen by 89%! Who pays the electricity, buys groceries, or takes care of medical needs not covered by insurance when a biker is injured? And, there are a lot of injured bikers. According to DOT HS 811 172 report there were 96,000 reported motorcycle injuries in 2008 and 5290 bikers died. Like most of the biker community I was to proud to ask for help after I went down. I had no way to pay my bills & no help. When I started this foundation it was with pocket change I saved up. After a year I had enough to get started, go through the legalities, and become a legal 501 (c) 3 under Public Charities status 170 (b)(A)(vi), trademarked, nonprofit foundation that is registered with the IRS. We know the economy is bad, but will the economy help you or your comrade if you/them are injured? B.A.N.C. Foundation may be able to. I am an OSB. I believe in stopping & helping one of our own. And, I believe that if there are over 6 million bikers in the USA, we should be able to help our own when they are injured and needy. They shouldn't have to go without food, heat, water, or medical needs. All the work with The B.A.N.C. Foundation is done by me, the founder, volunteers, members, & supporters. To date all monies are made through contributions, fund,raisers, the sale of patches, & memberships, Poker Runs, and 50/50 drawings and picking up pennies. ALL FUNDS raised are deposited into a bank account until needed, then dispersed to injured Bikers and Children to help in their time of need & are dispersed to the most sever cases first. There are no paid employees. In order to receive these funds you must first provide documentation with a completed application. The funds paid out do not have to be paid back. All we ask for you to do is make a contribution back to the Foundation when you are back on you feet and able to support yourself again. Please contribute what you can, spare pocket change, $1.00, $2.00, what ever you can afford, or support us by buying a membership/pacth. No contribution is to small. Without your help and support the foundation cannot continue to help our injured brothers & sisters.

Every penny is put to good use & every penny counts THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. _____________________________________________________ Just a few of the things we have done this past year. Paid a car note for a biker in WV who hasn't been able to work due to multiple surgeries after injuries from an accident. His car was to be reposed the next day and was all the transportation he had left. Helped a biker get his utility bills paid after suffering a heart attack & winding up in open heart surgery. Helped a sick biker pay for his oil/heat cost because he could no longer work. Helped a terminally ill biker who could no longer work get central air & heat. Helped with living expenses for a biker who went down, broke his leg, & couldn't work. Helped Father Christmas with a donation & toys for the sick children in the hospital at Christmas. Helped with toys/food for kids who are underprivileged and would have no Christmas. Helped a Lady biker with medicals so she could get treatment. Helped a Lady biker with a crippling disease get gas, hot water, & food. And the list goes on.... |
