2024 Midnight Riders’ Golf Classic and Charity Dinner

We are pleased to announce that after a brief hiatus, the Midnight Riders’ Golf Classic and Charity Dinner is back!

This year’s edition will benefit a cause that is near and dear to many in the Midnight Riders and the greater New England Revolution family: The Olivia Knighton Foundation (OKF). The OKF is a local non-profit that enables children to follow their dreams and make the world a better place by providing scholarships and grants, spreading acts of kindness, and supporting the causes that were most important to Olivia, including children’s welfare, the protection of animals, and education.

The event will be held at Swanson Meadows Golf Course in North Billerica, MA on Sunday, September 29th, 2024.

Midnight Riders Bylaw Amendments

Over the last couple of months, we have established a dedicated committee to review our existing bylaws which were last amended in 2021. The purpose of this exercise was to identify items needing additional clarification, update designations for gender neutrality, insert language relative to the Independent Supporters Council, and provide definitions for several commonly used terms.

As such, and in accordance with Article 11, Part 1 of the current Bylaws of the Midnight Riders Independent Supporters Association, Inc., we are providing you with copies of the proposed amendments for review in advance of the 2024 Annual General Meeting. These amendments are presented as a single, all-encompassing document to be voted on by the membership at the AGM, requiring a 2/3rds majority vote to be formally adopted.

Please take a few minutes to read over them. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at info@midnightriders.com.

2024 Membership Update

To our valued Midnight Riders members,

The Midnight Riders Board (the Board)—both our Executive and At-Large Board members—recently discussed the current price of Riders membership as it reflects the costs the organization faces annually.

Our membership price has been the same since our founding in 1995 and is still among the lowest of all MLS supporter groups across North America. Unfortunately, in a post-pandemic world, the costs of everything associated with operating a nonprofit social organization have increased. That includes costs we didn’t incur a decade or two ago: a trailer that requires insurance and registration annually, a PO Box to streamline mail correspondence, printing, and web fees, to name a few.

Due to these expenses and the need to ensure our operating budget can meet them, the Board met and, after much deliberation, voted on a new fee structure for Midnight Riders membership, beginning with the 2024 season (effective immediately):
Individual – $20
Family – $40
**Auto-renew has been disabled on all existing accounts ahead of this pricing change in an effort to be as transparent as possible. Manual renewals will open on January 1. You will be required to enter new payment information. Please also double check your mailing address as we get several member packs back each year.

Our goal is to maintain everything our current budget calls for, set aside a small stipend for an IT position and artists who would like to contribute to design ideas for merchandise and tifo and raise more than one tifo per season. We hope you understand the group’s needs as we look to the future and the dream of a new stadium on the horizon.We strive to make the Riders as accessible, welcoming, and inclusive as possible so this was not a decision taken lightly. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your continual support throughout each season,
The Midnight Riders Board
