The vast crowds were entertained by several diverse acts including the Foo Fighters and ZZ Top. The event which was started in 1984 by Oliver Shokouh, the owner of Harley-Davidson of Glendale, has raised more than 21 million dollars in it’s history. A partial list of the very deserving charities that benefit from the “Love Ride” includes; the MDA, Autism Speaks, Children’s Hospital of LA, Retts Syndrome Foundation, and Special Olympics. The top fund raiser of the event was Eric Schmoranzer who brought in $31,025. Way to go Eric and all the other participants!
