Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) September 9, 2008 -- Harley-Davidson 105th Anniversary (http://www.harley-davidson.com/wcm/Content/Pages/Events/105th_Coverage/landing.jsp?) fundraising for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (http://www.mdarides.org) reached $6.7 million surpassing its original $6 million goal for 105th Anniversary fundraising. The 2008 total brings cumulative 28-year fundraising for MDA to more than $71 million. The announcement was made during Harley-Davidson's Anniversary celebration in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The announcement was broadcast on the annual Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon.
Harley-Davidson Chief Executive Officer Jim Ziemer was joined by Motor Company President and Chief Operating Officer Jim McCaslin and Senior Vice-President and Chief Styling Officer Willie G. Davidson to make the final check announcement.
Harley-Davidson MDA (http://www.mdarides.org) Goodwill Ambassador Luke Christie accepted the $6.7 million check on behalf of the children and families served by MDA. "The Harley-Davidson family rides for us," said Christie at the final total announcement. "These are the friendliest and nicest people on the planet and they care deeply about Jerry's Kids."
