For the Love of Kids and Harleys was formed by 5 friends who share a common passion. This passion is riding Harleys and raising money for children's charities. These friends are Larry Walker with the San Antonio Express-News, John Peveto with Brake-Check, John Miller with Bill Miller BBQ, Fully Clingman with H-E-B and Hal Gottsacker with Gruene and Javelina Harley-Davidson. These men and their companies are also recognized as the Title Sponsors of the event.
