Adam Sandoval and his dog Scooter stopped in at the Garland location as a part of their 365-day quest to visit all of the Harley-Davidson dealerships in the lower 48 states. Funds are being raised for the American Legion Scholarship fund throughout the trip to help provide the opportunity for higher education to the children of those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. All donations – 100 percent – will go straight to the charity.

In addition to raising funds, Sandoval hopes to bring attention to the children of fallen soldiers and the challenges they face.

The duo will visit more than 695 dealerships and travel approximately 65,000 miles on this journey. Other riders are invited to join the trip for as long as they like for a daily contribution of $5 to the charity.
