Diveheart is holding a drawing for a classic Cory Ness Victory motorcycle, valued at $18,000. Proceeds from sales of raffle tickets, will support Diveheart's mission of building confidence and self-esteem for children, adults and veterans with disabilities, through scuba diving.

The Cory Ness Victory motorcycle was donated by Diveheart friend and supporter, Dean Hempel. "We are so grateful for this generous donation," said Jim Elliott, founder and president of Diveheart. "Our friends continue to find wonderful and unique ways to support us. This motorcycle is beautiful, and someone is going to be very excited at the conclusion of this drawing, and our divers with disabilities will ultimately benefit."

The motorcycle is on display at American Heritage Motorcycles Crossroads, 250 Skokie Valley Road, Highland Park. The drawing will be at the Victory Motorcycle Rally in Townsend, Tennessee, on July 17th. The winner need not be present. Drawing tickets are available for $20 each or six for $100.
