*******************************************************************

Once every two years, 100 of the best long-distance riders from around the country are selected to participate in the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, a 10,000-mile endurance ride through the United States. Keeping with the philanthropic spirit of Hoka Hey, each rider participates for a cause. The Orange Coast Harley Owners Group (OCHOG) is proud to have six members chosen for the 2020 Hoka Hey Challenge. We will be riding in support of Warrior Foundation Freedom Station, our charity of choice, and complete this challenge for our nation’s deserving heroes.

As Americans, we are blessed to live in a country that is the brightest beacon for freedom, liberty and justice the world has ever known. We owe a debt of gratitude to the courageous men and women of the United States military for defending these principles. Since 2004, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station has cared for ill and injured heroes from all branches of service. From the moment they return from the battlefield, to the time they transition back into the community as civilians, the foundation has changed the lives of thousands of warriors on the road to recovery.

OCHOG has many veterans among our ranks. We have seen firsthand the incredible impact that Warrior Foundation Freedom Station has made in healing warriors in mind, body and spirit. Through numerous programs including quality-of-life items, support services and transitional housing, the foundation is improving the lives of veterans and active duty service members in measurable ways. That’s why they’ve earned our support for the past nine years.

The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge begins on August 9, 2020 and is a unique opportunity to:

• Raise awareness for social issues that plague our country and our families.
• Enrich and inspire by cultivating a philosophy of respect, honor, integrity, and compassion.
• Empower others to overcome obstacles that have physically, mentally or financially challenged them and let them know they are not in it alone.
• Unite riders and families with a common goal to incite positive actions that lift each other up.
• Create an army of warriors with the strength to face adversity, the character to make sacrifices, and the desire to come to the aid of others in need.

Please continue to watch this site for rider updates. During the event, we’ll be wearing tracking devices so you can monitor our progress as we make our way around this beautiful country of ours, honoring those who gave us the privilege to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Hoka Hey will test our fortitude and determination, forcing us to overcome obstacles along the way and gain newfound strength. In that sense, it is a metaphor for the journey of the injured warrior, for whom the war may be over but the battle has just begun to heal, adapt and overcome. Your support will make the difference. Please help us change lives and save lives by donating today!

Sincerely,

The Orange Coast Hoka Hey Riders
