Thunder on the Lot - was founded in 1994. Thunder on the Lot has become the single largest charity fundraiser in the Antelope Valley. Centered around a custom classic car show and motorcycle show, Thunder has evolved into the AV’s largest fundraiser and one of Southern California’s coolest events. Thunder includes concerts on two stages all day, a poker run, drift races, grandstand events, carnival, kids activities, huge prizes like a new Harley Davidson bike, casino games, chess tournament, plus new features and attractions each year. With $3,000 collected the first year to over $336,000 collected at a recent event, Thunder on the Lot is proud to have raised over 3.6 million dollars for the kid’s year to date.

Festival of Trees Charities- At Christmas time each year the Kids Charities of the Antelope Valley presents a beautiful Christmas tree display in the showroom of Antelope Valley Harley Davidson.
