Daytona Beach, FL – February 14, 2025 – The Flying Piston Benefit is proud to announce Dana Tilling, the innovative artist and founder of Metalwood Garage, as the Featured Artist at the 2025 Flying Piston Benefit Breakfast & Auction. This highly anticipated event will take place Monday morning, March 3, 2025, in the pavilion at Teddy Morse’s Daytona Harley-Davidson®.
