A “Riders for Research” Happy Hour will be offered by Hadassah, Chicago Harley Davidson and Merrill Lynch on Thursday, June 2 at 6:30 PM at Chicago Harley Davidson Dealership, 2929 Patriot Blvd., Glenview, IL. The fun-filled event is to raise awareness for Hadassah’s ground-breaking medical research in such debilitative diseases as ALS, MS, cancer, melanoma and diabetes at Hadassah Medical Organization in Israel. Admission is free to the public who can enjoy, complimentary hors d’oeuvres, an opportunity to experience a Harley Davidson ride in the Harley simulation booth and music by the live band JUNK. Both riders and non-motorcycle riders are welcome. RSVP required at 847.205.1900 or chicago-northshore@hadassah.org.

Susan Levin-Abir, Hadassah Director of Development, Midwest Region, states, “Hadassah is an international 300,000 member organization that’s been around for over 100 years. What people may not know about us is that the doctors we support are changing the world with cutting edge medical research in ALS, MD, AIDS, Alzheimer’s, cancer and more. Our June 2nd event with Chicago Harley-Davidson sponsored by Merrill Lynch is a first of a kind “friendraiser” for Hadasssah to help raise awareness in the Chicagoland for the critical medical research and treatment work we do. We hope the public will come out to enjoy this free event with a live band, great appetizers and a ride on a Harley Davidson motorcycle simulator!“
