“We’re returning 2024’s last two injured Veteran riders back to the road they’ve desperately missed—making it a monumental 50 motorcycles for 50 deserving lives in just over eight years,” said Kevin Thompson, president of Hogs for Heroes. “Using a Harley-Davidson as the tool to assist our Recipient’s healing, our gift returns their passion for riding and the therapeutic benefits found in the alternative therapy of riding.”
Our unique, Wisconsin-only nonprofit aims to gift one bike a year. Instead, our small force will proudly hand out our record-breaking tenth set of keys this summer alone. These healing tools are made possible through donations from our hard-working public supporters—whether
it’s one dollar or a hundred, every bit of support has positively impacted their lives, as well as their spouses, families and communities.
Bike #50 is the third Harley to roll out from Wisconsin’s Operating Engineers Local 139 fundraising last year, and it is the ninth bike they’ve fully supported overall.
Bring your friends—rain or shine—as we honor the gratitude we have for all Veterans by changing the lives of these two. And trust us, you don’t want to miss this emotional and patriotic moment. Come chat us up, meet our Recipients, and connect with friends old and new as we return freedom to those who fought for ours.
Hogs For Heroes is a 501(c)(3) Wisconsin-only nonprofit and we raise funds to buy Harleys for injured Wisconsin Veteran riders whose healing would benefit from returning to motorcycling. Each gifting is fueled simply by donations…and 100% of every dollar donated buys nothing but a motorcycle for our next Bike & Veteran pairing. Please consider helping fund our next gifting.
