America's 9/11 Foundation Donates Harley-Davidson to Fairfield Police Department's Fleet

The America’s 9/11 Foundation has donated a Harley-Davidson to the Fairfield Police Department’s motorcycle fleet for its participation in the organization’s annual motorcycle ride from Somerset, Pennsylvania, to the Pentagon and then to the site of the former World Trade Center towers in New York City, according to the Connecticut Post.

The Fairfield Police Department acted as escorts during the ride, which has had as many as 3,000 participants in recent years, and each department that participates gets entered into a raffle for new motorcycles, according to the Post.

The America’s 9/11 Foundation helps provide college scholarships to the children of active first-responders.
