Orange County Choppers; from motorcycles to an official charity
Orange County Choppers, the custom motorcycle shop featured on the popular TLC show, American Chopper, today announced the launch of a new non-profit organization called The OCC Foundation, Inc. Through various projects over the years, OCC has put its full weight behind many charitable activities across the country and has helped to raise substantial sums of money for many causes, including those that support our soldiers and their families, those supporting the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions, plus many others. OCC will to continue to do so, but now everything will be directed through this newly created entity.
Orange County Choppers has long recognized the contribution to others through its tribute bikes, such as the renowned Fire Bike and POW-MIA bike and charity builds for organizations such as Make-A-Wish Foundation and Iraq Star. The OCC Foundation will seek to maximize those efforts by raising money to give to qualified charities. The Foundation plans to raise money through partnerships with some of the best companies in America, deriving donations through product links to goods and services beneficial to OCC’s fan base and to motorcycle enthusiasts in general.
“Everyone who knows me knows that I have big attitude, but what you may not know is that we at OCC have an even bigger heart,” said Paul Teutul, Sr, founder and CEO of Orange County Choppers. “Through the OCC Foundation we hope to take our charitable efforts to a whole new level, and of course, we’ll continue to need the support of our friends and fans to make this happen.”
