Harley-Davidson Charity Days start on August 13th in Austria
For a good cause: Harley-Davidson Charity Days start on August 13th
Under the motto “Saddle up and help”, committed bikers will once again be getting on their motorcycles this year to collect donations for children with muscle problems. As part of the “Harley-Davidson Charity Days” this time from August 13th to 15th, they will be stopping at seven different locations and promoting financial support for affected families.
Vienna, August 9, 2021 – More than 10,000 children and young people in Austria suffer from the incurable disease “muscular dystrophy”. The disease poses enormous challenges for their families, both emotionally and financially. Since 1996, bikers have toured throughout Austria every year to collect donations for those affected. Since the “Harley-Davidson Charity Tour” unfortunately had to be canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic, this year the “Charity Days” will be held at various locations in Austria to collect donations for a good cause.
The start of the Charity Days will take place on August 13th at 9:00 a.m. at the “huma eleven” shopping center in Vienna Simmering, where the Dado Eldorado Band will also be playing. In addition to huma eleven center manager Sabine Dreschkay, district head Thomas Steinhart as well as numerous celebrities, including Tony Rei, Yvonne Rueff, Christoph Fälbl, Oliver Stamm, chancellor hairdresser Josef Winkler and Andy Lee Lang, and the singer Luka Babuda in tow, will also be there.
The two actors Wolfgang Böck and Sabine Petzl have also announced their presence, as well as KR Ferdinand O. Fischer, representative of the two-wheeler trade in Austria, and the ombudswoman of the charity fund Tina Holmes. The donation handovers in the various locations as part of the Charity Days are moderated by Alex List in the east and west and Martina Klementin in the south of Austria.
After the start in Vienna, we continue to Völkermarkt in Carinthia, where the Tobacco Blues Band will provide musical entertainment and Mayor Markus Lakounigg will present a check for €3,000. The next stop is the music festival in the Lipizzaner town of Köflach, where Mayor Helmut Linhart will also hand over a €3,000 check to the initiative.
On Saturday, the Europapark Salzburg awaits the bikers with a 4,000 euro donation and from 6 p.m. there will be a stop in the city of Ried, where Harry Prünster and his band will play for the good cause. On Sunday, the stops in Obernberg and Steyr together with the Upper Austria Chapter will be the culmination of the Charity Days.
