VALLEY HARLEY OWNERS GROUPS® RAISE RECORD 84,000 MEALS DURING THIRD ANNUAL BIKER’S CHALLENGE FOOD DRIVE

St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance would like to that the more than 100 Valley of the Sun Harley Owners Group® members who took part in the Sunday Oct. 16 ride and BBQ to celebrate the completion of the third annual Biker’s Challenge Food Drive.



The H.O.G.® Chapters really out did themselves this year, more than doubling their meal donation for the second consecutive year. After contributing 15,000 meals in 2009 and 35,000 meals in 2010, this great community group went all out in 2011 and donated more than 7,000 food items and more than $10,000 in cash to feed Arizona’s hungry. That’s more than 84,000 meals this year alone, bringing the three-year total of this drive above 130,000 meals.


 

Congratulations go out to Pete and the H.O.G. Chapter 2376 out of Buddy Stubbs Anthem location, who were the overall winners this year and went home with the coveted Biker’s Challenge trophy for this year. That puts the gang from Anthem in charge of the 2012 Challenge, and we are already hearing plans to set a new record. Did some
one say 100,000 meals?

To all the competing chapters – the 2010 champs from Superstition H.O.G. Chapter 1743 in Apache Junction, the 2009 champs from Buddy Stubbs H.O.G. Chapter 93 in Phoenix and all those who took part, thank you on behalf of the thousands of people who will benefit from your selfless act of generosity. See you next year!
