Record Ride Helps Kids, Celebrates Brotherhood

The IBEW International Motorcycle Club continues to set records while raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity. This year’s ride, winding through the hills of southern Pennsylvania, brought together almost 300 riders from at least 24 locals, the most ever, said organizer and Safety Department Director Mark MacNichol. Together they raised almost $21,000 for St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn. “It supports itself, raises money for a great cause and is a celebration of everything that comes with being a part of the Brotherhood,” MacNichol said.

About the Electrical Worker

The Electrical Worker was the name of the first official publication of the National Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in 1893 (the NBEW became the IBEW in 1899 with the expansion of the union into Canada). The name and format of the publication have changed over the years. This newspaper is the official publication of the IBEW and seeks to capture the courage and spirit that motivated the founders of the Brotherhood and continue to inspire the union’s members today. The masthead of this newspaper is an adaptation of that of the first edition in 1893.
