[BROOKFIELD, WISC…] On a special episode of Outside the Bubble, Edge Messaging’s Brian Fraley talks with Kevin Thompson of Hogs for Heroes and veterans Scott Kruchten and Brian Kvitek, who both received motorcycles courtesy of this unique charity.
“We’re a local, Wisconsin, non-profit, we support and are dedicated to healing the wounds of injured Wisconsin veterans,” said Thompson. “Our mission is a little different though, we raise money to purchase Harley-Davidsons for injured Wisconsin vets to help their healing and honor all veterans, get them back on the road and in the community.”
The organization started in 2015 with the goal of being able to gift one bike a year. However, donations have allowed Hogs for Heroes to present two a year and will gift its latest Harley this Saturday, May 5th.
The ceremony takes place from 11:30 am to 2:00 p.m. at Harley-Davidson of Madison, 6200 Millpond Road. Army Veteran Jon Vandeyacht of Omro, WI has been selected as Hogs for Heroes fifth recipient.
