This is the letter Draggie drew up to send to all the Harley Dealerships we hit!
To whom it may concern;
I am writing to you on behalf of a group of mainly lady riders, that are about to take part in a second cross continental ride from Hudson, Florida to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
Last year, things started out as a means for a friend of mine to bring home her new Road King.(that she purchased in Florida) Instead of having it shipped, she decided to ride it home to Vancouver Island, BC. Because most of her friends and family were concerned about her riding across the country on her own, she ended up with assistance from many of the friends she had made on an online forum know as WOMEN WHO RIDE. The forum members banded together to give her an escort across the USA and to make sure that she wasn’t traveling alone. Along the way she raised a small amount of funds that she donated to the Cancer society in her riding instructors memory.
She, and other riders across both countries are about to embark on another ride but this time she has set her sights on raising $10,000 for Breast Cancer Research. Presently she is close to $3200 and she hasn’t started the ride yet. Most of the monies raised so far have come from donations or items that we or a company have donated and then been auctioned off.
I have included a copy of the flyer for the ride. It has information on the route, the cities that she will be stopping in, and many of the web links with information on the ride. Her plan, is to stop at dealerships along her route in the hopes of promoting her goal further. Besides welcoming the ride in typical Harley Davidson style, we hope that not only would you be willing to post the flyer at your dealership but also to possibly help out in some way, whether it be by a monetary donation to the ride or possibly an item that we could auction off from your dealership.(if so, it can be picked up when the ride arrives at your dealership) Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
The fundraising ride is scheduled to be in_________________, and to stop at your dealership sometime on May ______.
Please feel free to have a look at our website, and forums for more information on this ride. They are all listed on the attached pdf flyer. And if you wish to make a monetary donation assist us in our goal, the website is http://www.firstgiving.com/wwrconga
