Harley-Davidson's recent Black-N-Blue Ball a success




Big hearted bikers, businesses and caring community leaders led by motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson broke fundraising records this month.

According to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, the 17th Annual Harley-Davidson Black-N-Blue Ball raised over $508,000 in net income to advance MDA’s lifesaving mission. Attended by more than 1,200 Milwaukee-area business and community leaders, the May 2010 event surpassed the prior year’s Black-N-Blue Ball success by $40,000 and pushed total Black-N-Blue Ball net contributions to MDA beyond $5.7 million.


Quote from the article:
“On and off the road, Harley-Davidson enthusiasts are true champions for more than a million Americans with neuromuscular diseases,” says Gerald C. Weinberg, MDA President and CEO. “In fact, for 30 years, Harley-Davidson has been finding creative ways to help MDA fuel worldwide research seeking treatments and cures for muscle diseases.”
