Mission

We pledge that as members of the Virginia Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association, we, above all others shall set a good example and never bring dishonor to the Widows Sons or ourselves. We pledge that we will support our brethren in the Widows Sons regardless of race, creed, color, or national origin, and will never knowingly bring reproach upon a fellow brother of the Widows Sons. We pledge to resist any forces, which would seek to undermine or bring reproach on the Widows Sons or its members, and we shall always strive to bring respect and dignity to the Virginia Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association.

Charity

One of our biggest charity is our dedication and love to the Virginia Masonic Home. Each year we raise money for the Home and Residents live at the home. Our chapters adopt their Residents and look out for them by visiting and making sure they know we care about them.


We also support many Nobel causes like Virginia Masonic Home in Richmond, Virginia, Shriners Hospitals, and Scottish Rite Speech and Hearing Clinics throughout the country. We are involved in the American Red Cross with our Blood Drives or gathering up food and clothes for the less fortune citizens. We serve our country through the United States Armed Forces or serve as policemen, firefighters, EMT, and even sponsoring the Boy Scouts of America. Our main common bond is our love of riding, building, and working on motorcycles from every make and model which gives us a great opportunity to share our Brotherhood.
