  Mr. ROGERS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the 
Brother's Keepers Motorcycle Club of Kentucky. What started out as a 
group of firefighters whose main purpose was to strengthen their 
brotherhood through recreational motorcycle rides, has now grown into a 
club with much greater purpose.
  The Brother's Keepers Motorcycle Club focuses on safety and 
motorcycle awareness nationwide. However, realizing the strength of 
their unity, these firefighting bikers have turned their fun and 
relaxation into fundraising and charitable work. For example, their 
Kentucky chapters collectively support the Shriners Hospital and 
Transportation, Scars Uncovered, and the Hoosier Burn Camp for Kids. 
The five chapters in Kentucky include Lexington, Louisville, 
Campbellsville, Sturgis, and Paintsville. Together, they host the Burn 
Run, a two-day event for charity that has resulted in more than 
$300,000 in funding for pediatric burn victims.
  Every day, our firefighters bravely answer the call of duty to save 
lives and rescue homes, businesses, and community facilities from total 
destruction. The charitable work of this club is evidence that a true 
heart of service never clocks out when an emergency ends. Even in their 
spare time, they are serving and protecting the most innocent lives in 
Kentucky by raising support for young burn victims. Thanks to their 
fundraising efforts, more essential resources are available for 
families, including educational programs, healthcare initiatives, and 
recreational opportunities for patients who need them the most.
  I salute the Brother's Keepers Motorcycle Club of Kentucky for 
providing a beacon of hope for families across the Commonwealth, going 
far beyond the call of duty to help those in need.
