Event Navigation

Join the Harmon Family, and friends for the 11th annual fundraiser in memory of Jenni Ann Harmon! Sponsored by Harmon Motors and catering donated by Lakeshore Market & Deli.
Jenni was a 2006 graduate of Gilford High School (NH). She spent her youth playing sports, creating art, enjoying music, and volunteering. She felt passionate about advocating for children, veterans, equal rights, mental healthcare, and addiction counseling and recovery. After graduating, she followed the vocation of serving others by registering for an EMT course with the Gilmanton Fire Department. On December 14th, 2006, she was driving to her final written exam, and was tragically killed after veering on a sharp turn. At only nineteen, she left behind deeply loving friends, mentors, and family. She was graciously certified posthumously by the GFD.
Forever determined to let her light shine on, the Harmon Family (Jane, Russ, and Jami) have helped graduating seniors of the Lakes Region pursuing education in emergency, medical, and public services with a scholarship since 2007. Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation has been working with local donors—businesses, community organizations, and families hoping to honor loved ones—to financially assist local students with higher education since 1956.
Jenni loved motorcycles from the start. She loved to ride, and never missed a Laconia Bike Week since 1987. She also loved summers in the Lakes Region, and invited everyone for her annual birthday bash on July 31. As her family, we choose to keep the tradition going with this event on the weekend of her birthday every year. While our first hope is to generate attendance to celebrate Jenni, we also welcome donations from anyone who feels called to support our mission.
The ride is an estimated 100 mile scenic loop around the Lakes Region with 1-2 stops along the way. We begin and end at the Belknap Sportsman’s Club in Gilford, NH. A BBQ, lawn games, raffles, and silent auction will take place at the end, as well as a corn hole tournament for the chance at the 50/50 prize. Those who do not ride may still attend the BBQ and/or sign up for the tournament.
Ride registration: 8am-10am (kickstands up at 10 sharp)
$20 per person – includes BBQ admission and 3 raffle tickets
BBQ and Cornhole Tournament: 12pm noon
$15 per person BBQ
$25 per team of 2 for tournament entry
