When North America's leading manufacturers of fire apparatus and motorcycles unite for a cause, support reaches full throttle levels.
Since 1981, more than 3,000 firefighters have died tragically in the line of duty – leaving their families, friends and a gracious nation all too soon. Today, one hero is lost every 72 hours. These and all sacrifices of our nation’s firefighters are inherently great, and have compelled Pierce Manufacturing and Harley-Davidson to align in giving back.
Supporting the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation honors the families of those who've fallen. The financial assistance this campaign provides will lend hope and strength to enduring families nationwide. And, by supporting the cause with a donation of just $10, a custom, one-of-a-kind Harley-Davidson® Street Glide® could be yours.
We admire, value and thank you for your help in supporting the families of our fallen heroes. All proceeds benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
