The Columbus Police Department will join Rally Point Harley-Davidson for two charitable check presentations on Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. at Rally Point Harley-Davidson (3230 Williams Road).

The first presentation will feature proceeds from the 2026 SOUP’er Bowl Chili Cookoff, held earlier this year in February. CPD once again dominated the competition, winning both Best Tasting Chili and Overall Winner. As part of the event tradition, the winning team selects a charitable organization to receive the proceeds. This year, the funds will benefit the Teen Center at the Boys & Girls Club of the Chattahoochee Valley, which provides programs and a safe space for local teens.

The second presentation will recognize proceeds raised during the 6th Annual River City Motorcycle Rodeo, held in October 2025. Hosted by CPD in partnership with Rally Point Harley-Davidson, the annual event brings riders and spectators together for a day of motorcycle skills competitions and community engagement. Proceeds from the rodeo
will benefit Special Olympics Georgia, which provides year-round sports training and competition opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities.

The donation amounts for both organizations will be revealed during the presentations.
