October 27, 2014—Panama City Beach, FL— Harley-Davidson of Panama City Beach is proud to support our local law enforcement this holiday season. For the second year, Harley will hold a toy drive for the Bay County Sheriff’s Office children’s charity, Project 25. Taking place the day after “Black Friday,” Blacker Saturday Cruise-In Benefitting Project 25 will take place at Harley-Davidson, 14700 Panama City Beach Parkway, on Saturday, November 29 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Guests who bring in one new, unwrapped toy or game will be registered for in-store drawings to win a variety of special Harley-Davidson items.
“It’s important to do our part in supporting our local community, and holding a toy drive during the holidays is a wonderful way to help a child’s Christmas be just a little more special,” says Marta Rose, Director of Marketing & Events for Harley-Davidson of Panama City Beach.
In 1980, several Bay County Sheriff’s deputies started Project 25 for the purpose of collecting and purchasing Christmas toys for underprivileged children. “There is nothing like the face of a child with gifts under a tree on Christmas morning; the memory will last their lifetime,” said Sheriff Frank McKeithen. “The Bay County Sheriff’s Office is proud to partner with Harley-Davidson of Panama City Beach to put smiles on the faces of unfortunate children again this Christmas, through Project 25.”
Harley invites the community to take part in this festive afternoon. At lunchtime, World Class Athletics, a local gym at the beach will sell a barbeque lunch and holiday treats prepared by the children; all proceeds will benefit the gym’s youth programs. Jace Smith will entertain with his acoustic holiday rock music, and the Panama City Cruisers will hold their Fall Cruise-In at Harley, filling the parking lot with classic cars, hot rods and antique bikes.
