The Chapter held its second largest fundraiser event on 7 September, our annual Freedom Ride. Over 100 civilian riders participated in the fundraiser; this has grown during the past three years, and we expect this growth to continue – especially since Rolling Thunder has moved to Columbus, Ohio beginning 2020. CEO Bob Althoff of AD Farrow, Ohio’s largest Harley Davidson dealership, hosted our event with a free lunch and live bands at both the starting point and the finish point, The Buckeye Lake Winery.
Riders and SFA 45 members enjoyed the hospitality of Tracy and Laura Higgenbotham, owners of The Buckeye Lake Winery, for an afternoon and evening of great wine and food as well as their donations of several cases of wine that were auctioned at the Winery with all proceeds generously donated to the Chapter. SFC Randy Bring, a member of B/2/19th SFG(A), supported the event with a SF static display of gear and two Polaris Razors.
