Once again, Reno Harley-Davison/Buell’s annual motorcycle run and fund raising event happens this Saturday. The campaign assists low income families by helping to clothe local high school teens year round with donations from local residents, the motorcycle community and local businesses. Even Mayor’s Cashell and Martini are supporting the event; recently both were featured in television commercials, along with school chief Paul Dugan, to promote the event.
The fundraiser begins at 8:00 am, Saturday, June 28th at Reno Harley-Davidson/Buell on
“This year’s overall goal is to raise $50,000, which would match what we raised last year. This money will be spent purchasing gift cards from ROSS Inc. and with the help of our friend Paul Dugan, the Superintendent of Washoe County Schools, distributed so that thousands of local teens can purchase the clothing they need.” says Reno Harley-Davidson/Buell co-owner Marci Crowell. “The cost of living has gone up for most families, especially fuel and groceries. We want to do what we can to help local families.” She went on to say that it takes a large burden off of local families who struggle to make ends meet, by providing clothing and shoes.
Cash donations ONLY – clothing donations will NOT be accepted at this event.
