Sturgis Buffalo Chip® Breaks $2 Million Charitable Giving Mark

Sturgis, SD (December 14, 2022): Nearly $400,000 made it into the hands of veterans in need, as well as charities benefiting children and the community thanks to the generosity of the motorcyclists taking part in Buffalo Chip charity events in 2022. This figure pushes the grand total the Sturgis Buffalo Chip has raised for charity during the Sturgis Rally over $2.1 million.

“We are continually blown away by our guests’ desire to give back!” said Sturgis Buffalo Chip President Rod Woodruff. “People from all over come here to let loose and have a fun vacation, and yet they still take the time and spend their hard-earned dollars to give through Buffalo Chip charity events. With the help of all our friends, we’ve raised over $2 million to help children, injured American war veterans and our local community. Just two years ago we broke the million-dollar mark, and now we’re over two million. We are so blessed to be part of the giving spirit of the motorcycle community.”
