SmokeOut Rally Unveils 2025 TankFul Artists for Charity Motorcycle Tank Auction Benefiting Meals on Wheels
Salisbury, NC – The SmokeOut Motorcycle Rally is proud to announce the official 2025 TankFul artist lineup, marking the fourth year of this unique charitable initiative that unites custom motorcycle culture with community giving. TankFul is a live motorcycle tank art auction with a single mission—feeding hungry senior citizens through Meals on Wheels.
Founded and curated by Heather Callen on behalf of Ed Kerr, a founding member of Hamsters USA, TankFul reflects their shared passion for motorcycles, art, and making a difference. What started as a creative way to give back has evolved into a beloved tradition within the custom bike community.
In a country where more than 5.6 million seniors face food insecurity, TankFul delivers vital support to those who spent their lives raising, teaching, and building up others. For many of today’s elders, the daily reality is a heartbreaking choice between medication and meals—a choice no one should have to make.
What is TankFul?
