Fox Creek Blog

There are few things as iconic to the American culture as a motorcycle and the clothing we wear. “Buy American” is my conviction, and I intend to perpetuate this feeling and support my country and the American ideal. A major factor in my choosing Fox Creek for my riding apparel is that it is made right here, in the heartland of Virginia.* I know, I’ve been to their facility.

There is an innate feel of pride and quality when you wrap yourself in Fox Creek, it’s a knowing that you are supporting American workers and our American economy. It’s a feeling that cannot be realized by inferior products from some unscrupulous overseas manufacturers.

Forget trying to save a few dollars with substandard gear sacrificing quality and the American worker, buy these quality American made products - your reward will be superior goods, a strong economy and a better standard of living.

Wrap yourself in security and impeccable quality, be resolute in this way of life, twist the throttle, and ride an American road with a feeling of national pride.

Ashlee’s Ride is a yearly event named after one of the earliest known victims of a mitochondrial disease. We hold this fundraiser to benefit a child who suffers from a mitochondrial disease.

Each year we collaborate with Riley Children’s Hospital to find a child who has a definite need and whose parents have no resources to fulfill that need. We have a fundraiser and then take care of that need for that child as well as donate a portion of the proceeds to the local chapter of the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation (www.umdf.org). Last year we were able to help the family of Yevette Moss get a wheelchair accessible van.

This fundraiser on June 27, 2009 will begin at Southside Harley Davidson in Indianapolis and includes a motorcycle Poker Run, and when the ride arrives at the Plainfield Eagles there will be a bike show, live entertainment provided by Indiana Band of the Year 2008 - Blue River Band, raffles, door prizes, bike games, and an appearance by Indianapolis Colts Cheerleaders, and a silent auction. All of the workers are 100% volunteer and 100% of the monies raised go to the sponsored child and the local chapter of the UMDF.

Our Mission;

The Charlotte Firefighters Association has supported the Muscular Dystrophy Association in the past through the “Fill the Boot” fund drive. This year, as in years past, we are hoping to raise enough money to give a substantial donation to the MDA to aid in the research of a cure for Muscular Dystrophy.

The Charlotte Fire Department Benevolent Fund was established to provide assistance to members of the Charlotte Fire Department or their immediate family members in the event of a family crisis, hardship, or emergency situations. The benevolent fund is a non­profit charitable organization. Fundamentally it is firefighters supporting firefighters.

Supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association & the CFD Benevolent Fund is an excellent tool to reach a captive audience of active professionals, increase brand awareness, extend product exposure and drive sales.

Thank You
