A local motorcycle club that is dedicated to honoring military and law enforcement has donated $2000 to the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team.
The Wolverine Chapter of the Nam Knights Motorcycle Club raised the money at a poker run that took place last October. The club’s President, Tony Caron, along with several members, delivered the check to the Sheriff’s Office on Saturday.
Sheriff Mat King said, “I am thankful the Nam Knights made the decision that our Dive Team would be the recipient of proceeds from the poker run. This generous donation will be used to help continue the team’s function of rescue, recovery and education on the waterways of St. Clair County.”
The motorcycle club chapter, founded in 2016, has members from throughout Southeast Michigan and mainly raises funds for veterans, first responders, and their families. The national organization was started by VietNam combat veterans who ride Harleys and have a heart for philanthropy.
According to their Facebook page, the Wolverine Chapter of the Nam Knights has sent packages to service members stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, donated to Michigan Fallen Heroes Memorial, along with other charities.
