Indian Motorcycle has announced a fundraising national charity ride on September 20 in partnership with Folds of Honor. Indian Motorcycle is rallying its owners’ community and coordinating regional rides around the country – aiming to raise $250,000 for military and first-responder families.
The fundraising effort encourages Indian Motorcycle owners’ groups from around the country to get involved by donating to the cause and participating in the Folds of Honor charity ride. Every contribution, regardless of size, fuels its mission of making a meaningful impact in the lives of the families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders.
To amplify fundraising efforts, Indian Motorcycle will auction a custom Sport Chief RT, donating all the proceeds raised to Folds of Honor. As an added incentive, donors can earn exclusive rewards, including a brand-new 2025 Indian Sport Chief RT for the top fundraiser and an all-expenses-paid trip to attend the auction for the runner-up.

Minneapolis, MN (April 14, 2025) – Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, is proud to announce the return of its Folds of Honor national charity ride, benefitting families of fallen or disabled U.S. military service members and first responders. On September 20, 2025, riders around the country can join a ride at their local Indian Motorcycle dealership. Riders can donate or register now at the Indian Motorcycle IMRG National Charity webpage.
Building on the success from last year, the 2025 charity ride aims to support even more families of military personnel and first responders. In 2024, Indian Motorcycle demonstrated the generosity and dedication of its owners’ community, as the program eclipsed its goal of $50,000 and raised $114,000 for Folds of Honor. This year, Indian Motorcycle has set its sights even higher, setting an ambitious goal of $250,000 to further amplify the impact of its charitable mission.
“The incredible response from our riders and supporters last year proved just how much this cause means to our community,” said Aaron Jax, Vice President of Indian Motorcycle. “We are building on that momentum to make an even greater impact in our second year. This event is not just about the ride – it’s a powerful tribute to the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice to serve and protect us, and a testament to our community’s unwavering support.”
Every donation, big or small, drives the mission to support families of fallen or disabled service members and first responders. To amplify fundraising efforts, Indian Motorcycle will auction a custom Sport Chief RT, donating all the proceeds raised to Folds of Honor. As an added incentive, donors can earn exclusive rewards, including a brand-new, 2025 Indian Sport Chief RT for the top fundraiser and an all-expenses-paid trip to attend the auction for the runner-up.
