MDA Summer Camp – Escort to Camp Sunshine – Sunday, May 25th, 2008
For many kids, is simply “the best week of the year.” Some even call it “better than Christmas.”
Plan to join the Baton Rouge H.O.G. group on Sunday, May 25th, 2008 for the Annual MDA Escort to Camp Sunshine, Bunkie, LA. Plan to be at the dealership by 10:00 am to help load buses and depart when the New Orleans group arrives around 11:30am. "This is a chance for us to be the majority instead of the minority."- MDA Camper.
They’re talking about MDA summer camp – a fun-filled week for children with neuromuscular diseases that takes place at over 90 different camps across the country. MDA summer camp is a week that is free of the barriers that might ordinarily get in the way of fun for a child who uses a wheelchair or has other mobility limitations. Campers enjoy accessible activities like swimming, horseback riding, arts and crafts, sports and games, and making lifelong friendships with kids who are living with similar challenges. Parents enjoy a week of respite from what can be an intense schedule of caring for their child’s special health needs. H.O.G. chapters and enthusiasts add to the fun at dozens of camps with “Harley-Davidson Day” – another highlight that usually begins with the unmistakable thunder of a parade of bikes entering the campsite. "Many campers treasure the chance to sit on a bike for the first time! Many even dress the part with a temporary tattoo, bandana and some leather for the day. H.O.G. members often find the day to be just as memorable for them, and make it an annual summer event." To learn how you can get involved and attend or volunteer at MDA summer camp please call the MDA Office of Baton Rouge at 225-761-7010.

Hello Harley Friends! The MDA Labor Day Telethon is quickly approaching and for many years, the Harley Davidson family has helped MDA by answering the phones at Telethon. Telethon will be held in the Hilton Capitol Center in downtown Baton Rouge. A total of 10 designated phones during the day on Monday, September 1st. During this time, Harley Davidson will also make their check presentation for the raffle and other miscellaneous events held throughout the year. Let's put it this way, it was a record-breaking year which would not have been possible without your support. Thanks again for all that you do for MDA.
