On July 19th, 2016, Sierah Joughin went for a bicycle ride in rural northwest Ohio to visit her longtime boyfriend & future husband, Josh. When it was time for Sierah to ride her bike home, Josh rode next to her on his motorcycle until parting ways. He kissed her goodbye and that was the last time he saw Sierah. Sierah was kidnapped while riding her bike home that evening.

Keeping Our Girls Safe's mission is to create a community where violence against women doesn't exist.

KOGS is carrying out this mission by fundraising money to increase women's personal safety awareness and educate women on personal self-defense through holding free self defense classes in the NW Ohio area.

The KOGS memorial ride is an annual event to continue to help women remain as strong and confident as possible. 

Everything KOGS is able to accomplish is done in the memory of Sierah.

The 2017 ride was a huge success and we can't thank everyone enough for all of their support.  We had 640 bikes with 1038 people in attendance!!!!!
