The Annual Pledge Run

Register / Raffle Tickets | Make a Pledge | Current Sponsors | Becoming a Sponsor

The Annual Little Angels Pledge Run began in 1988 as a means for an Elgin Harley owners group to give back to the community. The group approached 2 other charities before Little Angels and was turned away because of their "biker image." This organization then reached out to Little Angels Administrator Shelley Lewis and found a grateful recipient.

From this partnership, the Little Angels Pledge Run was born. The first Run was a local event and raised a little over $9000. Since then, the Little Angels Pledge Run has grown into one of the Midwest's largest single-day motorcycle pledge events, includes in excess of 2000 motorcyclists annually and has raised over three and a half million dollars. These funds made possible the construction of a state-of-the-art, nationally recognized residential facility and developmental training center.

Originally this Run was sponsored by the Elgin Harley Owners Group. This group reorganized as the Elgin Area Organization of Harley Owners (EAO) and continues the mission of supporting Little Angels.
