Join the Ride Like MADD Poker Run to Combat Impaired Driving
Bretz Injury Law is excited to announce the upcoming Ride Like MADD 2025, a fundraising poker run designed to support Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and raise awareness about the serious consequences of impaired driving. This much-anticipated event is scheduled to kick off at 9:30 AM at Twister City Harley-Davidson, where riders will gather to honor victims and promote safer roadways.
Event Highlights and Purpose
Through the ride, participants aim to shine a light on the heart-wrenching effects of driving under the influence, while raising essential funds to aid victim advocacy efforts as well as MADD's educational initiatives. MADD is dedicated to eliminating drunk driving and helping those affected by it, and this event plays a critical role in their mission.
A Heartfelt Tribute
This year's event is particularly meaningful as it is dedicated to the memory of Steven Richard Golik, a cherished father and motorcyclist whose life was tragically cut short by a drunk driver. His daughter, Ashley Opliger, advocates passionately for tougher DUI laws following this devastating incident. She believes that her father's death could have been prevented with simple choices like opting for a ride-share service instead of driving under the influence.
Ashley urges the community: "Every biker should be able to go on a ride and make it home safely. My dad did everything right that day, but someone else's reckless decisions stole his life. That choice would have saved his life—and saved our family from spending the rest of our lives in deep grief, missing him every single day."
About the Ride
The poker run will cover a scenic route of 64 miles, with each mile representing a year of Steven Golik’s life. Riders will traverse significant locations that reflect Steven’s legacy, including notable landmarks in south-central Kansas, ensuring a memorable journey. Stops will include WSU Tech/NCAT, Textron Aviation where Steven worked for over 36 years, and Andover Central Park, near his long-time residence.
