Musician is a skilled trade with employable value for a blind person with proper training and instrument access.
What is the F.O.E.? Who are Dallas Eagle Riders?
The origin story of the Fraternal Order of Eagles
This international charity organization began over a hundred years ago with musician and actor entertainers went on strike against their live venue theater owners. The parties wisely and productively work together in a spirit of charity to become the "Order of Good Things" which would later became the F.O.E.. This organization donates over $10,000,000 dollars annually to charities through its fundraising activities.
The Dallas Eagle Riders 3108
All the members of our charitable motorcycle enthusiasts must first be dedicated members of the F.O.E. or its Ladies Auxiliary of our Dallas home F.O.E. #3108. Our riders group was formed in 2018 and have now raised and donated thousands in funds for worthy charitable causes ranging from Toys for Tots to Diabetes Research, to helping in charitable fundraising for breast cancer victims in their fight for life-saving treatment.
Donated $7,000 toward Diabetes Research
A major milestone fundraiser event for our group was the "Big & Bold Bike and Jeep Show" where we brought charities, businesses, bikers, a church, and our community together to admire really cool motorcycles and Jeeps while also raising badly needed funding for a prestigious diabetes research center which is currently a leader in life-saving breakthroughs in the fight against diabetes.
