/PRNewswire/ -- Indian Motorcycle, America's First Motorcycle
Company, today announced a fundraising effort in partnership with
Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing
families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders
with life-changing educational scholarships. Rallying its owners'
community, Indian Motorcycle is coordinating regional owners' rides
around the country on August 24,
2024. Indian Motorcycle owners can donate and
register to participate before midnight on August 24, 2024.
The fundraising effort encourages Indian Motorcycle owners'
groups from around the country to get involved by donating to the
cause and participating in the Folds of Honor charity
ride. Every contribution, regardless of size, fuels its
mission of making a meaningful impact in the lives of the families
of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. As a
special incentive, Indian Motorcycle will gift the individual who
raises the most funds with a brand-new, custom Indian Springfield.
Additional product and prizes will be offered at various levels of
contributions.
"Supporting U.S. military service members and first responders
has always been core to our brand, which is why we're excited to be
partnering with Folds of Honor and rallying our owners to give back
and support those families in need," said Aaron Jax, Vice President for Indian Motorcycle.
"As riders, we understand the power of community and the joy of
giving back, and with our legion of owners all around the country,
we are beyond excited to make an impact for such an important
cause."
For nearly 20 years, Folds of Honor has provided educational
support to the families of fallen or disabled service members and
first responders. Folds of Honor has awarded more than 52,000
educational scholarships totaling approximately $244 million in educational impact. Providing 45%
of all scholarships to minority students, the organization is
significantly impacting educational opportunities by fostering
diversity and empowerment within academia.
"We are grateful to the team at Indian Motorcycle and to the
proud patriots who ride," said Lt Col Dan
Rooney, Founder and CEO of Folds of Honor. "The individuals
who participate in these nationwide rides have made a choice to
never forget the sacrifices made by these American heroes and to
help provide academic scholarships to their spouses and
children."
The Folds of Honor charity ride serves as one of many events
featuring the Indian Motorcycle Riders Group (IMRG). With
approximately 137 chapters and 7,500 riders from around the
country, IMRG hosts hundreds of rides and events each year for
