OUR 1ST APPLICATION PERIOD IS
OPEN NOW UNTIL MARCH 20, 2021...
...and We're Selecting THREE
Injured WI Veteran Riders to Receive a
Harley-Davidson to Start 2021's Season Off!

Hogs For Heroes is a small, Wisconsin-only nonprofit that raises funds to buy Harley-Davidson motorcycles for injured WI Veteran riders whose healing may benefit by returning to the road for what we riders affectionately call "wind therapy". We believe regaining the freedom of the open road, the pride in ownership and the collegiality of riders can provide therapeutic value to those Veterans who have long enjoyed the passion for riding and now find themselves without means or ability to have that bike in their life. We work to help heal wounds incurred during active duty--physical, psychological, emotional--and whose existence is likely exacerbated by a lack of effective resources and support. Our gift is NOT an award for service:  it is an alternative therapy intended to help those struggling and at-risk individuals reconnect and reengage with a motorcycle as the tool. And while our gift is given to only one individual, the ripple effect of it’s beautiful impact affects spouses, families, employers, communities and other Veterans as these recipients regain outlets and support… all because a motorcycle reentered their life. Not just for a day’s excursion, or a week’s retreat, but for as long as they choose to continue their passion with the road. It provides an identity and escape, a culture and a family. Our Recipients, and their spouses, will repeatedly tell you our gifts have literally changed their lives and, in multiple cases, saved their lives. Simply put, we do not just gift a motorcycle: it's a life-changing tool.

Our goal is to gift one Harley a year; and, it still shocks us that in just a little over four years of gifting motorcycles, we wrapped up our 2020 season by returning our SIXTEENTH Veteran back to the road. YOU, our Supporters, make this possible. We certainly can't accomplish this kind of life-changing work without you, and your kind, generous hearts, right at our side.

These pandemic times have been difficult for everyone and yet, you all rose to the occasion and shared what you could. Right now we plan to gift at least four bikes in 2021, and will seek out our first three recipients to start. We anticipate opening 2021's last application period in late May and will then seek our next Recipient(s) to regain the benefits of wind therapy. Please help us get the word out by sharing our opportunity with all that you know...one never knows when the right information will land in the right hands!

As life returns to some semblance of normality, many great organizations have chosen us as their beneficiary for awesome 2021 events! Catch some below, and be sure to watch our calendar and Facebook page for more events and announcements. We hope you join the fun when you can! And remember... every single penny that is shared with us goes straight, and in full, toward the purchase of the next Bike. 100%.

As we roll into 2021, smile big as you think about the many deserving lives your efforts have and will positively change. It does a heart good to do good for others.
