“I am excited that Ray Wheeler will be spearheading the effort in raising awareness of the needs of our returning veterans with traumatic head injuries,” said Dar Holdsworth, Brass Balls Bobbers’ Bossman. “His enthusiasm and commitment to our returning veterans is inspirational.”

“By displaying the Brass Balls Bobbers on the Horse Long Road, we are ensured to increase the awareness about the bike and the cause,” said Ray Wheeler, president of Wheeler Industries. “Being a Veteran, it was important to me to help raise money for the Intrepid Fallen Hero Fund anyway I can.”

Each month sponsors provide gifts to the raffle participants to entice the ticket sales. Saddlemen is the first company to come onboard and provided a set of saddlebags to the lucky winner in April. The Military Bobber will be given away in Daytona, Florida during the 2009 edition of Biketoberfest. All the details and news updates are available at www.winabobber.com.

About Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund

Begun in 2000 under the auspices of the Intrepid Museum Foundation, and established as an independent not-for-profit organization in 2003, the Fund has provided more than $65 million in support for the families of military personnel lost in service to our nation, and for severely wounded military personnel and veterans. These efforts are funded entirely with donations from the public, and hundreds of thousands of individuals have contributed to the Fund. 100% of contributions raised by the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund go towards these programs; all administrative expenses are underwritten by the Fund’s Trustees.
