“Harleys for Hospice” Returns with Harley-Davidson® Motorcycle Raffle to Benefit Granite VNA Hospice Services

CONCORD, N.H. – This June, “Harleys for Hospice” returns during Laconia Motorcycle Week. Granite VNA and Laconia Harley-Davidson^® are partnering again to raffle off a 2026 Harley-Davidson^® FLHC Heritage Classic to raise critical funding for Granite VNA hospice services which provide nursing, pain management, spiritual care, emotional support, and companionship to patients on hospice across 72 communities in central New Hampshire. This year, the Harley will feature a custom design by acclaimed local tattoo artist Jimmy ‘Snaz’ MacKenzie from the hit Spike TV show Ink Master. Tickets are $20 and available online at www.granitevna.org/harleys.

“We had so much fun raffling off a Harley last year, we just had to do it again. Laconia Harley-Davidson is an excellent partner, and we couldn’t be happier to work with them and Jimmy to raise critical funds for our hospice services,” said Granite VNA Chief Strategy Officer Julie Stone. “Community partnerships are essential in helping us provide care to the people of the region. We’re so looking forward to seeing all the motorcycle and tattoo enthusiasts come out to Laconia Motorcycle Week and our special drawing event in September to support us.”

Last year, Granite VNA made 111,331 visits to 6,096 home care patients in their homes, facilities, and retirement communities, as well as 28,176 visits to 799 hospice patients in their homes, assisted living communities, retirement communities, and skilled nursing facilities, and 11,507 visits to 419 patients at Granite VNA Hospice House in Concord.

Only 2,500 tickets are on sale now through September 12, 2026, to win this custom-detailed, one-of-a-kind 2026 Harley-Davidson^® FLHC Heritage Classic. The Harley-Davidson^® Heritage Classic is a touring-focused model built upon the Softail cruiser platform. The Heritage offers specialized touring features, including standard locking saddlebags, a detachable windshield, passenger pillion, and a more comfortable, upright riding position. The winner will be selected at random on September 12, 2026 during a special event at Laconia Harley-Davidson^® in Meredith, New Hampshire.

Jimmy ‘Snaz’ MacKenzie, a Harley-Davidson^® enthusiast, is the creative heartbeat of North Street Tattoo in Salem, Mass. He was featured on Seasons 11 and 13 of the hit reality TV show Ink Master and was crowned one of three winners in Season 13.

“One of my favorite things about tattooing is getting to honor the artists that came before me, the culture of it all. And how people connect to the artwork that they wear for a lifetime,” said MacKenzie. “That’s what we are doing here with this 2026 Harley Davidson Heritage Softail. We are honoring where it came from. Not just the legend of Harley Davidson, but the customizing from the riders that spans back decades. And we get to bring those moments back to life with a nod to the 1949 hydra glide.”

There is no better bike to cruise on today than the 2026 Harley-Davidson^® Heritage Classic, according to Motorcycle.com. The bike delivers a Cadillac-smooth ride without a hint of harshness. And, the bike’s seat is best-in-class – it’s the most comfortable one on the market to ride around town in.

“On behalf of Laconia Harley-Davidson, we are proud to support Granite VNA by raffling off this bike,” said Service Director and General Manager at Laconia Harley-Davidson Scott Richards. “Their services are integral to our community, so finding creative ways to connect with and support an agency that touches so many of us is great opportunity.”

The customized Harley-Davidson^® can be seen in-person at Laconia Harley-Davidson’s showroom at 239 Daniel Webster Highway in Meredith, NH.

One raffle winner will be drawn at random on September 12, 2026 at Laconia Harley-Davidson. The winner does not need to be present to win.
