Santa Motorcyclists Collect for Sick Children - Harley-Davidson’s Riding Santas Raise €202K for Sick Children in Festive Charity Tour
A group of Harley-Davidson riders dressed as Santa Claus have raised €202,000 for seriously ill children. Their latest charity tour collected funds for Kinderhospiz Sterntaler, a children’s hospice in Dudenhofen. The bikers will return for their next ride on December 6, 2026.
The Harley-Davidson Riding Santas visit kindergartens, schools, and nursing homes each St. Nicholas Day. Their stops include Dudenhofen, in the Mannheim area of Baden-Württemberg, where they gather donations. The money is marked with the reference ‘Santas’ to ensure it reaches the hospice.
The €202,000 total came from direct bank transfers, event proceeds, and charity box collections. Every year, the group’s festive rides support children with life-limiting illnesses. Their next tour is already scheduled for December 6, 2026.
The funds will go directly to Kinderhospiz Sterntaler, helping families with seriously ill children. The Riding Santas have built a tradition of giving back, with each ride expanding their impact. Their next journey in 2026 will continue this effort.
