Unfortunately, we lost several Board members this year due to illness, and as a result, we will not be able to hold our annual Bikers on Parade charity ride this year.

However, our mission continues. We still have funds available to assist local Veterans in need, and we need a few additional Board members to help us continue that work.

We are an all-volunteer organization, and except for helping with our annual Bikers on Parade charity ride, serving as a Board member requires very little time. It is a small commitment that can make a real difference in the lives of the Veterans we assist.

If you would be interested in joining our Board and helping us support local Veterans, please email me at [email protected].

Thank you for your support!

It is with great sadness that I am sharing with you the news of the passing of Chris Sterner from an illness. Chris, and his wife, Donna, were long time Board members of AHVA and dedicated to assisting local Veterans in need. Chris was a Navy Veteran and a member of the Punishers - a Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club. Chris was a great guy and his passing will be felt by all who knew him.

We sincerely appreciate Kevin and the team at Gainesville Harley-Davidson for their ongoing support of Bikers on Parade and AHVA. In addition to the $1,575 donated from their Annual Chili Cook-Off, they contributed an additional $2,500, as well as airtime on local radio stations to help promote BOP 2025. We would not be able to assist our local Veterans without the critical support of our amazing sponsors!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! We kicked off 2026 with a special mission: providing a new refrigerator for Eddie, a 93-year-old Korean War Veteran with an incredible legacy.

Despite being blind, Eddie lives independently and possesses a personality that lights up a room. Spending time with him is like watching history come to life. From his days as a heavyweight boxer—where he crossed paths with Rocky Marciano—to knowing a pre-fame Elvis Presley, Eddie has seen it all. He spent years in law enforcement working undercover in North Central Florida and later shared his love for music as a local DJ.

It is because of your generous support for AHVA (ourahva.org) and Bikers on Parade, that we can assist deserving heroes like Eddie. Thank you for making these moments possible! (Photo shared with Eddie’s permission.)
