A donation from Man O War Harley-Davidson will fuel a fundraising raffle benefiting the George Rogers Clark High School band program in Clark County, according to a local report. The dealership donated a Harley-Davidson Street Bob motorcycle to the Clark County Band Boosters, who plan to raffle the bike to raise money for band operations and related program needs.

LEX18 reported that the motorcycle will be offered through a ticketed raffle organized by the boosters, a community group supporting the high school’s band. The fundraiser is scheduled to run with ticket sales beginning on Aug. 28, giving families and other supporters a set start date to purchase entries.

The report said the donation was made by Man O War Harley-Davidson, the dealership partner for the booster-led effort. The bike is being used as the central prize for the raffle, which is designed to generate revenue outside of regular school budgeting.

George Rogers Clark High School’s band program is one of the school activities for which the boosters raise funds, the report indicated. Supporters typically use booster fundraising to cover expenses such as equipment, participation costs, and other day-to-day needs that help keep students engaged in music and performance opportunities.

The raffle’s ticket sales timeline, including the Aug. 28 start date, sets the pace for how quickly the boosters can build participation and distribute tickets. The program will rely on community awareness and early sales to ensure the raffle can reach its fundraising goal before the drawing date.

For families looking to support the program, the Aug. 28 ticket on-sale date is expected to be the first concrete step for purchasing entries. The booster organization will serve as the point of contact for raffle logistics, as indicated by the local reporting.

Man O War Harley-Davidson’s donation underscores how local businesses can contribute to school-affiliated extracurricular programs by providing high-value items for fundraising. With ticket sales set to begin later this month, the boosters’ next step will be confirming how tickets will be sold and when the motorcycle raffle drawing will be held.

Why It Matters

  • The August 28 ticket on-sale date establishes a clear timeline for when supporters can begin funding band program activities through the community raffle.
  • The fundraiser links a local business donation to a high school extracurricular program, helping supplement resources that may not be fully covered through school funding.
  • By using a high-value prize, the boosters aim to draw broader community participation, which can affect how much money the band program raises.
  • Students and families connected to the George Rogers Clark High School band program are likely to be the most directly impacted by proceeds from the raffle.
  • The booster-led raffle process can also provide a public accountability path, since the community-funded proceeds are tied to a specific school activity and set of program needs.
