The Bridge Youth Services Raffling Off Harley-Davidson

The Bridge Youth & Family Services is partnering with to raffle off a motorcycle this fall.  This is no ordinary Harley.  The bike is Harley-Davidson’s newest model release for 2012, the Harley-Davidson XL 1200V, model “72” Sportster.  The Bridge will hold an inaugural event at City Limits, to introduce the raffle on Saturday, June 9 at noon. 

Raffle tickets go on sale on June 1 online, selling for $20 a ticket or 3 for $50.  Throughout the summer and early fall, tickets will be sold and the motorcycle will be displayed at other venues in addition to City Limits.  The raffle drawing will take place on Saturday, October 6, 2012 at City Limits Harley-Davidson. 

The Bridge Youth & Family Services has been serving the Northwest Suburbs since 1965 with Child and Family Counseling, Crisis Intervention, Early Childhood Counseling, Mentoring Programs and Youth Leadership Development.  Some or all these services are offered to six area townships, including Palatine, Barrington, Maine, Hanover, Schaumburg and Elk Grove Townships.  

“We’re excited to be doing something new”, said Gregg Stockey, Executive Director of The Bridge, in a news release.  “We hope to reach a new audience, making them aware of The Bridge and raising needed funds for programs”.

The new design of this motorcycle takes after the extravagant 1960s-era choppers with ape hanger bars, narrow frames, and skinny tires.  Along with its styling, the Harley-Davidson Seventy-Two pays tribute to the cruising and customizing scene in Southern California by taking its namesake from California State Route 72, a street long known as a cruising hangout in Greater Los Angeles. 

See the bike in person by stopping at City Limits Harley-Davidson on Rand Road in Palatine, or see photos of the motorcycle on The Bridge website, www.bridgeyouth.org. Follow The Bridge on Facebook for up to the minute details on where the bike will be next.
