Harley-Davidson Women’s Ride During Daytona Bike Week Raises over $25,000 for MDA
March 2nd started off with heavy rains, thunder, and strong winds, but the sky cleared just in time for the Harley-Davidson Women’s Benefit Ride for MDA. At 10:00 a.m., despite the threat of continuing bad weather, over 60 women lined up to ride through Daytona Beach and raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Leading the ride was Karen Davidson, daughter of Harley-Davidson styling legend Willie G. Davidson and great-granddaughter of one of the company's founders.
The ride began at the Daytona Speedway, wound through Daytona Beach, through Main Street and crowds of cheering and waving people, and finished on Beach Street at the Riverfront Park.
Once all the women parked their bikes, they gathered under the Harley-Davidson tent where Keith Wandell, Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, spoke and thanked everyone for attending. Other big names from Harley-Davidson Motor Company present were Matthew Levatich, President of Harley-Davidson Motor Company and Chief Operating Officer of Harley-Davidson Motor Company and Leslie Prevish, the Women’s Outreach Manager for Harley-Davidson.
