Cross Country Journey Raised Funds for Programs Supporting Children, Police and Animals
DELRAY BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Delray Beach resident Chuck “Big Dog” Halberg and riding partners John “Mad Dog” Looney and Jean “Jaboo” Alepin once again embarked on a charitable cross-country journey, raising $92,420 for 15 Delray Beach-based nonprofit organizations. The ‘2024 Flat Stanley Rides a Harley for Kids & Cops,’ took place July 4-22, 2024 and fundraised for charities that focus on supporting children, police, and animals.
Halberg, a supporter of various South Florida organizations and owner and president of Stuart & Shelby Home Builders, took his first road trip to benefit kids and cops in 2011. Along with his former riding partner Jimmy Christe (in memory of), Halberg made it a personal mission to touch all 48 states in the continental United States over three road trips. The two accomplished this in 2018 and raised over $50,000 for local nonprofits in the process. In 2021, Halberg was joined by his new riding partners – as well as popular children’s book character Flat Stanley – and raised $77,000 for 10 local nonprofits.
This year’s trip included stops in Alabama, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota, Missouri, North Carolina, among other. Fan could follow the trip at www.facebook.com/flatstanleyridesforcharity to view memorable moments with local police officers and K-9s, and to see visits to historic landmarks.
“Thanks to all the event sponsors, and to all those that have donated to the nonprofits,” said Halberg. “And most of all, thank you to the nonprofits for the great work they do in our community every year.”
