Our Purpose

The Sands of Time is a Central Massachusetts chapter of the Widows Sons Masonic Riders Association. Our mission is to combine our passion for motorcycling with the Masonic tenets of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. We are dedicated to supporting the widows and orphans of our fallen Brothers while serving as a visible, charitable force within our local communities.

The Tommy Long Memorial Ride: A Legacy of Service

The heart of our fundraising efforts is the annual Tommy Long Memorial Ride. This event was established to honor the memory of a beloved Masonic Brother who lost his life in a motorcycle accident, leaving behind a widow and two young daughters.

What began as a tribute to one man has evolved into a vital community lifeline. Each year, we ride to ensure that Tommy’s legacy of brotherhood continues by raising significant funds for veterans, children, and families in need throughout Central Massachusetts.

Community Impact & Proven Stewardship

We believe in local impact. Our fundraising proceeds are directed toward established non-profits and community funds. In the past year alone, the Sands of Time chapter has provided financial support to:

• Veterans Services: Clear Path of New England.

• Children & Education: Rise Above Foundation (supporting foster youth), Shriners Hospital for Children, and the Wilder Lodge Scholarship Fund.

• Local Community Relief: The Leominster Mayor’s Fund and the Masonic Angel Fund (providing immediate assistance to children in local schools).

By supporting the Sands of Time, donors are investing in a proven network of local charity, powered by a brotherhood committed to never leaving a neighbor in need behind.
