PICKERINGTON, OHIO -- The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) has announced that its chartered clubs and promoters reported raising $6,243,238 for charitable causes in 2002.
The most generous AMA-chartered club in 2002 was New York City`s chapter of the Harley Owners Group (HOG), while the top promoter was the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation of Asheville, North Carolina.
"Our clubs and promoters have shown once again that no other group can match American motorcyclists' generosity," said Robert Rasor, President of the AMA. "We`re pleased to recognize their good works."
Total donations reported in 2002 represent an increase of nearly $500,000 over the previous year.
