  “Fallen Officers Rally” – Meet at HDS Ron and Linda.  This ride to Crystal Mountain includes the 7 Puget Sound Harley-Davidson dealers that are promoting this event.   This event is to raise money for the “BEHIND THE BADGE FOUNDATION” - a charity that funds the Fallen Officers Memorial in Olympia and gives financial support to families of fallen officers in need.   HD of S has been allotted 142 V.I.P. tickets (sold only in Harley stores) and the total number to be sold at all 7 dealerships is capped at 1,000 riders.  Tickets are available in-store for $25.00 each and cover the ride, the meal ticket, entertainment and door prizes. The event at Crystal mountain begins at noon on Sunday, August 1^st and ends at 3pm, giving plenty of time to have a nice leisure ride back home or to just hang out at the mountain – perhaps a chairlift ride to the top?  The ride to Crystal will take from 3-3.5 hours, so we will begin the day with a Harley-Davidson of Seattle hosted pancake breakfast from 7:00 to 8:00.  The HOG Chapter will handle ride groups and depart beginning at 8:30.  At the mountain there will music hosted by KMPS radio on the Car Toys stage.  Lunch will be served beginning at 1pm.  There be will displays, door prizes, announcements and a short memorial recognizing those officers who’ve lost their lives in the line of duty.  A very limited number of event T-Shirts and Ride pins will also be available for sale on the mountain.  

I hope you can join us and help us honor the men and women who serve and protect us every day.  I feel this will become your favorite event of the year – every year.   Please contact Rachael at (425) 921-1100 or in-store with ticket questions & purchases.
