Ron and Becky

It All Started with the Harley

Twenty years ago Ron was introduced to The Children’s Hospital when he participated in the annual Harley Davidson Toy Ride. Along with at least one thousand other Harley enthusiasts from the Rocky Mountain Harley Davidson Owners Group, Ron brought brisk December cheer to patients and their families by bearing gifts of toys for the holiday season.

Ron speaks proudly of the Harley Owners Group’s longstanding involvement with Children’s. Over the years the group has supported different services at the hospital such as the popular coffee cart, cable television, a monthly pizza night for families and of course the highly successful Harley Toy Ride.

When Ron and his wife Becky updated their estate plan two years ago, their thoughts turned to where their resources would do the most good. Fortunately for Children’s, Ron and Becky decided to revise their will to establish The Children’s Hospital as the beneficiary of their estate. They have designated their thoughtful bequest to assist needy families.

According to Ron, “Kids are neat. They are in their sweet years, so open and loving and giving. Becky and I know that all families don’t have the same ability to pay for their care. We take comfort that down the road our gift will help Children’s continue to provide its excellent care to all kids who need it.”

And the Harley? Ron still rides but admits that he prefers warm weather!
