Local motorcycle dealership hosting Independence Day Freedom Bash supporting Veterans

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Independence Harley-Davidson is honoring Veterans this July through their annual Benefit Ride and Independence Day Freedom Bash.  

This year, the team is donating all proceeds to national non-profit The Independence Fund! Located in Charlotte, the charity works with local and national partners to support the physical, mental, and emotional independence of our nation’s heroes. 

 “We’re honored that Independence Harley-Davidson is bringing together the community to support our nation’s heroes this July,” said The Independence Fund’s COO, Clark Pennington. “They’re a generous group, and their contributions will have a nationwide impact through our partnership.” 

The event brings together bikers and Veterans alike for a special day dedicated to independence and the spirit of giving. 

“At Independence Harley-Davidson, we believe in giving back to those who’ve sacrificed so much for our freedom,” said Independence Harley-Davidson General Manager Ben Mowery. “Partnering with The Independence Fund allows us to directly support wounded Veterans and their families through meaningful, community-driven events.
