Charity and philanthropy may not be the first words that come to mind when driving behind a long line of leather-clad motorcyclists, but bikers generate tens of millions of dollars every year to support causes from volunteer fire departments to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
Tens of thousands of riding clubs across the country get involved in charity fundraising to some extent, industry officials say. According to figures released by Harley-Davidson Motor Co., corporate-sponsored events raised $5 million for muscular dystrophy research this year alone. In 26 years of supporting the MDA, Harley-Davidson has helped raise $60 million."
