My giirlrfend’s HOG My giirlrfend’s HOG chapter does the Rainy Day Children’s Fund and they do what’s called a Toy Store Invasion. It’s where they stand outside with their leather gear and their bikes and have a bulletin advising people what they’re doing. I would love to see something like that getting funded. St. Jude is also a wonderful fundation to serve. I think what you guys are doing is something very special. I want you to also check out HOPE 2011. That’s something you should really look into.
