BONES or Bronco Owners North East States is proud to announce the 12th annual May It Forward. This event will be held May 15/16th, 2026 in central Massachusetts at the PACC social club, 171 Kendall Pond Rd west, Gardner, MA 01440. Last year we shattered both attendance and donation total with our best year yet! BONES was fortunate to have over 110 trucks from different states! BONES collectively raised over $30,000 dollars donated to the Travis Mills Foundation! (www.travismills.org) This organization has a retreat in Rome, Maine that hosts post 9-11 veterans who have been injured in active duty or as a result of their service to our nation, at no cost, with various issues with adaptive family and outdoor activities as well as bonding with fellow veterans and their families.

From their web page: This organization has a retreat in Rome, Maine that hosts post 9-11 veterans who have been injured in active duty or as a result of their service to our nation, at no cost, with various issues with adaptive family and outdoor activities as well as bonding with fellow veterans and their families. From their web page: By the Numbers Proudly Supporting Post-911 Combat Veterans and their Families1,747 Veteran Families Served across 47 states, plus Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Canada. 10 Proud Years in Operation of our Foundation & Retreat. 25+Awards & Recognitions for foundation charitable efforts $0.00 Charged to Veterans and Families for our Retreats and programs.



What we do:

We are now a two-day event with a Friday afternoon scenic cruise on May 15th with the main event being on Saturday, May 16th. The Friday afternoon cruise is just a leisurely ride through North central Massachusetts with a photo stop mixed in and a chance to meet with other Bronco fanatics. Saturday is a donation only event with a day full of fun, food, Fords and friends. Broncos of every shape and size and year will be in attendance, and we hope you can join us! The raffle has become legendary due to the generosity of generous vendors and friends! We have had a homemade quilt to Napa toolboxes to an original Sherman cooker, to a set of new Toyo tires were among many of the amazing items we have had over the years. We would be honored if you would consider us to achieve even more in 2026!! When we started this event there was about 25 trucks and now, we have grown to over 100 Broncos of all generations as well as 300 attendees with it expanding every year. This New England group and friends from beyond is nothing short of amazing! Thanks a million for your time and consideration and let's May It Forward again for these brave hero's! I would like to proudly add that in the eleven years of doing May It Forward, BONES has raised over $130,000 for veterans!

This sounds interesting.
Will there be raffles?
Raffle? Yes. About 100 items raffled off each year. All donated by the vendors and Bronco enthusiasts.

To give you a better idea, this link takes you to last years event:

100% of what is raised goes to the Travis Mills Foundation highlighted by tasker in the first post. Come on out, you won’t be disappointed. It is a rain or shine event.

Wish I could make it happen to be there this year. Maybe in 27 I’ll be able to drive up. Just got BD #101 and that made me feel the need to 1st hand experience seeing Tasker’s rig. It’s great looking in pictures so it must be spectacular in real life.

Tasker, ya done good.

if you are possibly considering attending May It Forward:
Just heard from the Colonial Hotel
"I just wanted to reach out and let you know that if more guests are still in need of rooms there is still 13 rooms available in your group block that can be picked up, those will release on April 4th though so in order to receive the group rate just make sure everyone calls before then. They should refer to the Travis Mills foundation room block!"
Thanks for helping us make a difference in a lot of soldier's lives!!!
