TESTIMONIES

Silent Partners Motorcycle Club is a club of angels for Hillside. The 2008 Ride for Hillside supported Hillside Summer Enrichment Program that provides educational  activities and classes for the children during the summer school break. Due to budget cuts, this program would not have been the same without their help.

Silent Partners also held a toy drive and fundraiser to provide Christmas presents for our kids. Their involvement, generosity, and genuine spirit of giving mean the world to our children. They help our children learn that there really are people in this world who truly care about them and can be trusted.

Hillside is a home for children with emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. We have 74 children ages 7-17 who live and attend school on our 13-acre campus near Midtown Atlanta. Hillside also provides Therapeutic Foster  Care and a Community Intervention Program to assist families in crisis.

As 15 year old girl I look back at last June. I have always loved motorcycles. So on June 1st, 2008 it was a dream come true. How big of a dream? The Silent Partners came here. What so great about that? They are a volunteer group full of motor-cyclers. So on June 1st they rode in on 100 motorcycles to give us a day of fun. The day was full of fun, we even got to get our pictures while sitting on the motorcycles. It was always fun when we turned around. Everywhere I looked I saw happiness. I really enjoyed the day.

Dear Silent Partners,
I enjoyed the sound of the motorcycles and I liked the games thank-you for everything you have done. My favorite part was when you drove around and when I got to sit on the motorcycles. Thanks for coming. It reminded me of being home. My parents ride motorcycles. I liked getting on the bikes and am thankful that others care about us kids to visit. When we got on the bikes it was really cool because we got to turn the bikes on and rev the engines. It was cool as one of the ladies let me wear her biker bracelet and sit on her bike at the same time. I really liked it a lot.

What I liked about the Silent Partners? Well I liked everything about it! I liked the bikes, I liked being able ot get on the bikes. I liked getting the tattoos liked the bikers and I just liked being outside and looking at them

Silent Partners is one of the best supporting groups I have ever met. They are a loving group of men and women who care for the sake of us kids at Hillside. They teach us that there are others who care for us, they talk about the importance of love and support from others and from God, and they show us their bikes! Silent Partners is a very influential group to Hillside, but it is a major influence to us kids. I appreciate all the visits that they have had with us and I always look forward to the next one. Silent Partners is the BEST!
