Supporting Our Charitable Organizations

You have been challenged by a group of military veterans and their families.  Most of us have actually lived the spirit of “Hoka Hey” because each, in our turn, have had to become willing to sacrifice our lives or the life of someone we love for our country, our family, or our honor. 

In tribute to today’s soldiers and native peoples, the organizers of the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the following charitable organizations:

Warrior Weekend; a program whose mission it is to provide weekends of rest and relaxation for soldiers and marines who have been wounded in combat in both Iraq and Afghanistan.  These warriors are undergoing recovery at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC..  The weekends are funded by both individuals and organizations and are no cost to the soldiers and marines who participate. 

Disabled American Veterans; The DAV is an organization of disabled veterans who are focused on building better lives for disabled veterans and their families. The organization accomplishes this goal by providing free assistance to veterans in obtaining benefits and services earned through their military service.
