Winners Announced for the Harley-Davidson® Silent Auction
Rensselaer is pleased to announce the winners of the silent auction for two custom Harley-Davidson® motorcycles: Arthur F. Golden ’66, JD, Chair of the Board, and Matt Kehoe ’86.
While this round of bidding is over, the option to bid on one of these custom motorcycles will be available to the community once again! During Reunion & Homecoming Weekend, Arthur Golden generously offered to donate his motorcycle back to Rensselaer for another silent auction. Please stay tuned for more details on this exciting opportunity!
We would like to extend our congratulations and appreciation to the highest bidders for their generosity and support, as well as a thank you to all who participated in this auction. A special thank you to Rensselaer President Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D. for donating the first motorcycle, and to the Harley-Davidson® Foundation, and Matthew Levatich ’87, president and CEO, for donating the second bike. More than $40,000 was raised for this auction to support current students through the Rensselaer Annual Fund.
Details on an additional silent auction will be announced at a future date. However, if you are interested in purchasing this available motorcycle outright, please contact in Institute Advancement at HarleyAuction@rpi.edu. $25,000 is the minimum bid. Thank you!
