Indian Motorcycle, recognized as America’s First Motorcycle Company, has announced the continuation of its Folds of Honor national charity ride, which supports families of fallen or disabled U.S. military service members and first responders. On September 20, 2025, participants across the nation will have the opportunity to join rides organized at local Indian Motorcycle dealerships. Interested individuals can register or make donations through the Indian Motorcycle IMRG National Charity webpage.
This year’s charity ride aims to build upon the achievements of the previous year, during which Indian Motorcycle exceeded its fundraising goal of $50,000 by raising $114,000 for Folds of Honor. For the upcoming event, the company has set a new target of $250,000 to enhance its charitable efforts. Aaron Jax, Vice President of Indian Motorcycle, commented on the community’s response, stating, “The incredible response from our riders and supporters last year proved just how much this cause means to our community. We are building on that momentum to make an even greater impact in our second year.”
All donations, regardless of size, contribute to the mission of supporting families of service members and first responders. To further encourage fundraising, Indian Motorcycle plans to auction a custom Sport Chief RT, with all proceeds going to Folds of Honor. Donors will have the chance to earn rewards, such as a 2025 Indian Sport Chief RT for the top fundraiser and an all-expenses-paid trip to the auction for the runner-up.
Lt Col Dan Rooney, Founder and CEO of Folds of Honor, expressed gratitude towards Indian Motorcycle and the riders supporting the initiative. He emphasized the importance of the charity ride, stating, “By participating in our second charity ride and contributing to these fundraising efforts, riders are making a profound commitment to honoring our nation’s heroes and providing life-changing educational opportunities for their families.”
Folds of Honor has been providing educational support to the families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders for nearly 20 years, awarding approximately 62,000 educational scholarships, which total around $290 million in educational impact. The charity ride represents a significant effort to continue this important work and support those who have served the country.
