Karen Davidson, great-granddaughter of one of the Company founders, will lead the ride along with the winners and mentors of our Get Down to Daytona contest (www.harley-davidson.com/womensride has profiles of the winners). Each participant (whether they raise money or not) will receive a 2008 MDA pin, special MDA/Harley-Davidson flag for their bike, and also be entered into a drawing for a 105th Anniversary Leather Jacket.

Since the ride is a fundraiser for MDA Summer Camps, a small donation of $25 is appreciated, but not mandatory. The top three fundraisers will receive a women’s Harley-Davidson Leather Jacket. Also, any woman who raises more than $400 will receive a special Harley-Davidson/MDA silver charm in recognition of their silver-level fundraising efforts (photo attached). Any woman who raises more than $800 will receive a silver and gold charm in recognition of their gold-level fundraising (photo attached). (One week at MDA Summer Camp costs $800 per child.)

So, if you know a female rider who will be in Daytona the morning of Tuesday, March 4, and will have a Harley or Buell to ride (we CANNOT provide a motorcycle for them), please ask her to fill out the attached form and email it to Natalie Pedersen at natalie.pedersen@harley-davidson.com no later than Wednesday, February 20. Every participant must pre-register with Natalie by that date and will not be able to just show up that morning and join the ride. Participants will be identified on a first-come, first-chosen basis, and Natalie will provided participants with more detailed info on the starting time, location, etc. shortly after Feb. 20.
