The Red Knights Motorcycle Club Ohio Chapter 7 was born out the desire to bring together motorcyclists, firefighters, and EMS providers in the Mahoning Valley. The formation of the club helped to expand the comraderie of your local firehouse and helps to foster growing relationships through out the area’s first responder community.

In the first years the club put together the Randall S Pugh Memorial Poker Run which is a fantastic event helping to carry out the legacy of Chief Randall S. Pugh in the form of providing scholarships for young up and coming EMS providers to attend classes to obtain their licenses to begin working in EMS. This lead to the founding of the Randall S. Pugh Memorial Fund who took over and continue to operate the scholarship fund and Memorial Run to this day.

The RKMC Ohio Chapter 7 organization continues to be involved in assisting many local non-profit and charity benefit events with our primary focus on our “Inspiring Heroes” pledge. Events include the “One More Poker Run” as well as attending events and supporting a number of non-profit organizations. To this day Ohio Chapter 7 continues to look for new ways to support the first responder community and many other charitable causes.
