Did you know … you can buy your Sandy Corley Memorial Run tickets online at Eventbrite?! The 30th annual Sandy Corley Memorial Run returns July 26 - 28, 2018. You can pick up tickets at Sandy’s Harley-Davidson, or follow this link to purchase your tickets online, including early camping passes.
Sandy Corley started the Fremont Michigan Chapter of the Harley Owners Group in 1986. He was the owner of Sandy’s Harley-Davidson Sport Center and was a charter member and strong supporter of the small but dedicated group of riders in the area.
Sandy passed away on June 29, 1989, after suffering from cancer. That fall the first event was held in Sandy’s honor. The Sandy Corley Memorial Run was a tribute to Sandy by the members of the chapter and his family and friends. There was a ride, an auction and plenty of fellowship amongst the riders. The proceeds of the first event and the following four went to the American Cancer Society in Sandy’s name. The event has continued to grow for the last 29 years. Each year the members of the Fremont Harley Owners Group and friends of the Sandy Corley Memorial Run come up with new ideas to raise more funds for cancer treatment.
All the funds now raised by the group go to the Johnson Family Center for Cancer Care. Over the last 29 years over $2 Million has been donated in the remembrance of Sandy Corley to aid in the treatment of cancer victims.
The Sandy Corley Memorial Run is a tribute to Sandy Corley in thanks for what he brought into our lives.
Thank You Sandy, this run is for you, may you never be forgotten.
