Sacred Syndicate Social Motor Cycle Club (SSSMC) – what can we say?
What a wonderful group of people, who Harden Can Assist is so very grateful for their ongoing support.
On Saturday 14th June, once again they held their blanket run, with cash donations being split between Zac’s Place and Harden Can Assist. Since their inaugural Barry Coulton Memorial Dice run in 2021, they have raised and donated to our branch more than $27,000! As well as their donations the events highlight the support of Can Assist in our community. A further donation of $1,137.50 was handed over, 50% of proceeds from the blanket run.
SSSMC are very community-minded, in fact on the day of the hail storm, some of their members came to Harden to assist anyone in need of a hand following the disaster.

Bev Stevenson and Carol Barker.
Please keep an eye out for their fundraising efforts, not only in Harden but surrounding areas. Consider jumping on your bike or driving your car with them on their next Barry Coulton Memorial ride on 24th January 2026. You won’t be sorry – a fabulous day out. But they couldn’t do what they do without the many businesses, both locally and in the district, that donate prizes for raffles; once again please support the locals who support you. They are on Facebook too so jump on and follow them to see what they are up to and the businesses that donate to them. https://www.facebook.com/SacredSyndicateSMC
