…this year we can once again expect you and the Harley-Davidson Motor Company, through your network of hundreds
of North American dealers and H.O.G. Chapters, to convince thousands of motorcyclists to contribute countless
hours and millions of hard-earned dollars to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. And my question for you is this:
WHY SHOULD MOTORCYCLISTS SUPPORT THE MDA?
According to Charity Navigator, the nation’s largest and most-utilized evaluator of charities, the MDA has a
two-star rating with an overall point score of only 46.00:

That two-star rating means the MDA “needs improvement” because their program “meets or nearly meets industry
standards, but underperforms most charities in its Cause”. And that means that as the philanthropic Pied Piper
of Chrome Pipes, you and the Motor Company have many more deserving non-biker charities to lure your loyal
customers to than the MDA. This, in turn, leads to my next question:
WHY SHOULD MOTORCYCLISTS SUPPORT *ANY* NON-BIKER CHARITY?
