DESCRIPTION:<h2><strong>Red Knights MN4 – Firefighters Fighting Cancer Benefit 2026</strong></h2>\nThe Red Knights MN Chapter 4 will host the <strong>2026 Firefighters Fighting Cancer Benefit</strong> on <strong>Saturday, August 29, 2026</strong>, at the <strong>Hamel VFW in Plymouth, Minnesota</strong>. This annual event stands as one of Minnesota’s most meaningful firefighter‑led fundraisers, dedicated to supporting firefighters and their families facing a cancer diagnosis — a battle that continues to impact the fire service at alarming rates.\n\nSince its founding in 2010, the benefit has grown from a small fire‑service gathering into a major community event rooted in brotherhood, service, and direct impact. Every dollar raised goes toward assisting selected firefighter beneficiaries and their families, helping ease the financial burden during one of life’s most difficult challenges. Funds also support the ongoing charitable mission of Red Knights MN4.\n\nThe day begins with registration, breakfast, and a morning social before riders depart on a scenic west‑metro motorcycle route. After returning to the Hamel VFW, attendees can enjoy food trucks, refreshments, games, live music, and both silent and live auctions — all contributing to the benefit’s fundraising efforts. The event is open to the public, and riders, families, businesses, and community members are encouraged to attend, sponsor, or donate.\n<div></div>\n<h2><strong>Important Information</strong></h2>\n<ul>\n 	<li><strong>Event:</strong> Red Knights MN4 – Firefighters Fighting Cancer Benefit</li>\n 	<li><strong>Date:</strong> <strong>Saturday, August 29, 2026</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>Location:</strong> <strong>Hamel VFW – 19020 Hamel Rd, Plymouth, MN</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>Host:</strong> Red Knights MN Chapter 4</li>\n 	<li><strong>Who Can Attend:</strong> Open to the public — riders, families, supporters, and community partners</li>\n 	<li><strong>Purpose:</strong> Financial support for Minnesota firefighters and families battling cancer</li>\n 	<li><strong>Highlights:</strong>\n<ul>\n 	<li>Breakfast & morning social</li>\n 	<li>Scenic west‑metro motorcycle ride</li>\n 	<li>Silent & live auctions</li>\n 	<li>Food trucks, games, refreshments</li>\n 	<li>Live music & community gathering</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<div></div>\n<h2><strong>Event Schedule</strong></h2>\n<ul>\n 	<li><strong>10:00 a.m.</strong> – Registration Opens</li>\n 	<li><strong>10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.</strong> – Breakfast & Morning Social</li>\n 	<li><strong>12:00 p.m.</strong> – Benefit Ride Departs</li>\n 	<li><strong>3:30 p.m.</strong> – Return for Live Music & Post‑Ride Activities</li>\n</ul>\nFundraising includes silent and live auctions, sponsorship opportunities, and direct community contributions.
