American
Road Shop Gives Away New HD Sportster and
Contributes to The Children's Leukemia Foundation
Highland, MICH. – American
Road Shop Bike Night's recurring theme is "Lifestyle is a
choice." The choice was clear for many bikers to head to 59 West in
Highland, Michigan, on Tuesday nights from May to September and take part
in weekly bike contests, raffles and the chance to win a brand new
Harley-Davidson Sportster from ABC Harley Davidson. They also held a 50/50
drawing for the third year in a row with 50% of the proceeds going to the
winner and 50% to the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan (CLF),
which was over $2000 this year.
Thanks to ABC Harley Davidson's involvement, this marked the third year
that American Road Shop gave away a FREE Sportster. Tickets to enter the
drawing were free, one per person each Tuesday. A rotating bike contest
was held each week, with awards given for the most chrome, the longest
bike, the oldest bike driven up and the best amateur custom. Each winner
received a $25 gift certificate from American Road Shop and a $25
certificate from 59 West. Also, every Tuesday throughout the summer, names
were drawn for door prizes, Bike Night Tee Shirts, vendor giveaways and
more. With 100-150 bikes on an average night to 350 bikes and about 500
people on the final night, the third year of American Road Shop's Bike
Night, co-sponsored by ABC Harley-Davidson and Coors Light, was extremely
successful.
59 West is Oakland County's best kept secret, with a bistro &
billiards bar, fine dining restaurant, 7,000 sq. ft. fitness facility and
two huge banquet halls. This is the third year they hosted the American
Road Shop Bike Night, and also the third year that all the raffle proceeds
went to the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan (CLF).
American Road Shop co-owner Tim Beaubien said, "The last bike
night of the year is always a big night for us, we give the bike away and
we tally the final count for CLF. This year was particularly gratifying,
not only did we have the best year donation for CLF but both Barb and
myself had people coming up to us and thanking us for hosting this bike
night. That made all the work worth it."

About the Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan
Children's Leukemia Foundation of Michigan was founded in Detroit in
1952 by a group of parents who had each suffered the loss of a child due
to leukemia. Together, this group resolved to support other families
stricken with this devastating illness. Since that time, CLF has helped thousands
of families fight life-threatening illnesses, and has grown to a statewide
agency that provides information, financial assistance, and support to
children and adults affected by leukemia, lymphoma, and related blood
disorders.
