Harley-Davidson Raffled to Raise Funds for Powerful Cause
Motorcycle raffle raised money for memorial park honoring murder victims in Delphi, Indiana.
When two young girls were senselessly slain in Delphi, Indiana in February of 2017, it shook the community, and the country, to its core. Now, that community is committed to keeping the memory of these victims alive, and finding a sense of purpose in such unspeakable tragedy.
Abby Williams and Libby German were walking on Monon High Bridge Trail in Indiana when a they were killed by an assailant who still remains at large. The girls’ hometown is building a $1 million softball field and park as a memorial and tribute to their lives.
Helping in the effort to raise money is Brandt Harley-Davidson. The dealership recently sold raffle tickets for a brand new Harley with all ticket sales going towards the park. They successfully raised $21,000.
Chris Christensen had the lucky ticket, and just picked up his brand new bike.
“I mean it’s not about me, it’s not about this bike,” Christensen told WANE. “It’s about these two girls.”
Vince Persico, general manager of Brandt’s Harley-Davidson, is also focused on this important cause. “We look forward to doing more,” he says. “We’re not going to stop here. Until these people, or this person or people are found, we’re not going to stop. We’re going to continue to help the families to make sure we can do exactly what we need to, and we’ll do that for anybody in this community.”
Police have set up a tip line at (844) 459-5786.
