There will be plenty of lunch to be served on Monday (June 11) and the Screamin' Eagle racers will be the ones serving it.

Harley-Davidson Motor Company and its factory-supported riders are going to be at Milwaukee’s Bethune Academy (1535 N 35th St, Milwaukee) to help kick off the Fueling Young Minds Summer Meal program. Fueling Young Minds provides free meals for Milwaukee area children throughout the summer.

Spurred by a $125,000 grant from the Harley-Davidson Foundation, the award-winning Fueling Young Minds summer meals program will feed meals to low-income children at more than 200 Milwaukee locations this summer, as well as provide dinner at 25 area schools. Harley-Davidson partners with the Hunger Task Force of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Public Schools and other non-profits in the public-private collaborative.

“Providing access to nutritious summer meals remains a high priority, and Harley-Davidson is committed to helping ensure that Milwaukee’s children receive healthy meals in safe, supervised locations,” said Harley-Davidson Foundation Manager Mary Anne Martiny. “We all have a responsibility to these children and to the community. The Harley-Davidson Foundation takes this responsibility very seriously.”

Andrew Hines, three-time NHRA POWERade Pro Stock Motorcycle champion, is anxious to help launch another great year of Fueling Young Minds. He and teammate Eddie Krawiec will race at Route 66 Raceway this weekend (June 7-10) before heading off to Milwaukee.

Defending AMA GNC Twins champion, Screamin' Eagle factory rider Kenny Coolbeth, will be joined by his Wrecking Crew teammates Jared Mees, Bryan Smith and Joe Kopp.

"I think it's great that I can do anything to help the next generation of children," Hines said. "It's so important that we give back to the community and it's even more important that kids have good, healthy food to eat. I'm proud that my sponsor in racing is so involved with helping kids."

Fueling Young Minds started in 2004 but Harley-Davidson Racing Manager Anne Paluso said that while this is the first time the race teams have been involved, it won't be the last time the riders get involved with such a valuable cause.

"Harley-Davidson has a long tradition of doing things to help people in our community," Paluso said. "I'm thrilled that we can get the race teams involved with this particular program because racing has always been for kids of all ages and our racers are all kids at heart.

"The racers are ready to serve up some lunch, make sure the kids know how important it is to eat healthy foods and just have fun getting the word out before summer starts."

More than 2 million meals have been served to Milwaukee children since the program's inception in 2004. Parents, caregivers and neighbors can find out more about the nearest free meal site by calling the Milwaukee area IMPACT community service line.

The Screamin' Eagle NHRA and AMA race teams will be at Bethune Academy on June 11 starting at 11 a.m.
