After years of celebrating in their own Midtown Cleveland shop, Motogo was ready to rev up their signature fundraiser and take it on the road. For the 2025 Bringin’ Back Shop Class Benefit, they turned to Palmer Event Solutions’ Site Selection Support to find a venue that could match their mission — and their momentum.
The Challenge
Leaving the place where so many memories were made was daunting — but their growing guest list and programming needs made it clear: it was time for a bigger stage. The team wanted a space that could:
Comfortably accommodate up to 250 guests.
Offer strong infrastructure for dinner, program, entertainment and sponsor activations.
Align with their mission of hands-on learning, authenticity, and community.
The Solution
Palmer Event Solutions guided Motogo through discovery, venue research, and tours, ultimately leading to the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum at the Cleveland History Center. The space offered both practical benefits (capacity, flow, amenities) and symbolic resonance. Guests could celebrate Motogo’s mission while surrounded by some of the world’s most iconic vehicles.
The Event Experience
On March 22, 2025, guests arrived at the museum’s Cleveland Starts Here gallery, strolled through the lower level before heading back upstairs to the rotunda for dinner and program, and ended the night exploring the full museum. Highlights included:
Mission Storytelling – Coaches shared how Motogo teaches resilience and problem-solving through motorcycles.
Celebration – Guests honored Motogo’s growth and impact.
Inaugural “Rise and Grind Guild” Induction – Recognizing community leaders and champions.
The new venue elevated the guest experience while keeping the organization’s mission at the center.
