Motorcycle Ride to DTE Energy Music Theatre, a private acoustic concert  with Rodney Atkins, and see Brooks & Dunn, Rodney Atkins, and ZZ Top in concert!  One price, for a great cause!  100% of proceeds to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan! 

The Rebels for A Cause - "Maddie's Ride for Miracles" event is a motorcycle ride that goes from Motor City Harley-Davidson in Farmington Hills to the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston on Saturday, August 23rd for the Brooks and Dunn, Rodney Atkins and ZZ Top concert in honor of Maddie Trudel.

Seven-year-old Maddie Trudel fought a courageous battle with bone cancer, which she sadly lost in November of 2006. Prior to her passing, Maddie's "Wish" was granted with a trip to Disney World. Maddie's Dad, Paul Trudel, created "Rebels For A Cause", to help other children's "Wishes" come true, in memory of Maddie. Read more about "Rebels For A Cause" and Maddie's story.  (Photo above of Rodney Atkins and Rebels for a Cause founder Paul Trudel, at a benefit concert with 99.5 WYCD at Memphis Smoke last December!  Click here to see more photos!)
