Harley Dealer Donates Money to Help Fight Against Cancer
Another example of a Harley dealer doing good in their local community.
Fundraiser
Harley-Davidson - as a company, its dealers, and its fans - has long been known for its generosity and willingness to help those in need, whether they be military veterans, kids with ailments, or pretty much anyone else looking for a hand. Thus, it's really no surprise to learn that Black Diamond Harley-Davidson in Marion, Illinois recently completed a successful fundraiser for Fighting Cancer Today.

Raising Funds
Black Diamond raised $565 at the fundraiser, which was acquired through a series of Breast Cancer Awareness fundraising activities. The dealer sold limited-edition t-shirts and pink tribute ribbons - which were on display at the facility through the month of November - to raise those much-needed funds.

New Tradition
"Black Diamond is proud to join the fight against breast cancer," said Black Diamond Harley-Davidson Sales Manager Tony Beyer. "This is the second year we have promoted Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the dealership, and we look forward to continuing this important tradition next year."

Supply Drive
Black Diamond also teamed up with Shawnee Health, SIU Medicine, and the city of Marion to host a Comfort Kit Supply Drive, where those entities collected items including pill organizers, travel bags, totes, backpacks, water bottles and tumblers, aloe vera, hats, scarfs, wipes, blankets, and candles for those in need.

Helping Hand
These items also went to folks that will certainly appreciate them. "Comfort Kits are sent to patients and caregivers who are currently battling cancer," said Cierra Johnson, founder of Fighting Cancer Today. "Each package is personalized and includes items to help support and comfort families through this journey."
