Dear Ms. Clemmons,
Rolling Thunder Inc. is pleased to welcome The Stars Foundation along with the production and
promotional services from Iceman Production to the Rolling Thunder Ride to the Wall Rally Memorial
Day weekends in an on-going symbiotic working relationship. The Rolling Thunder event has been in
existence since 1988, when we founded the event for the purpose of providing veterans with aid while
bringing the issue of POW/MIA to the American Public.
With over 900,000 motorcycle riders and spectators participating in our event last year, we see the long
term vision of millions more joining in the cause through global television broadcast and social media and
the new promotional campaigns brought to our Rolling Thunder events. The Stars Foundation's
dedicated efforts will realize global awareness to this worthy cause.
We welcome this generous donation of in kind services and look forward to a fruitful harvest of
sponsorship dollars to aid our bottom line in supporting American veterans and the service organizations
we support. Your efforts to bring country and rock stars and combining that with high profiled sports
such the NASCAR and Mixed Martial Arts programming to our event platform is a powerful addition to
the Ride to the Wall's festivities at the Lincoln Memorial and the agenda set for the Pentagon.
We look forward to a warm and prosperous working relationship with The Stars Foundation and the long
term growth of our mutual visions of bringing hope and a brighter future to those who have served our
great country with dignity, pride and honor.
Sincerely,
Sgt. Artie Muller
Founder/Executive Director
