Outside of motorcycle circles, the image of a biker conjures up the rough and tumble images of biker gangs and thugs thanks in large part to Hollywood's endearing portrayal of the sport.
If you are an enthusiast, you know that those who enjoy the motorcycle lifestyle are some of the most giving, kind and hard working volunteers you will ever meet.
From organizations like Hartbauer McBride's Bikers Helping Bikers to BACA, Bikers Against Child Abuse, the motorcycle community regularly holds events with proceeds benefitting area and national charities.
Over the years, Doc's has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue and merchandise to area charities and small independent events. We hold it true to heart it is our mandate to give back to the community which has been responsible for our success.
You will be hard pressed to find an industry which contributes such a large percentage of personal time and business funds to benefit area charities.
Please understand, first and foremost, Doc's has a responsibility to our customers in providing award winning service and a viable business and unfortunately, we cannot help everyone.
Bearing this in mind, the following stipulations will bear the best chance of participation:
- You or someone in your organization is a current or past Doc's customer.
- The event is a motorcycle related event (poker run, ride, benefit, etc.)
- You allow at least 3-4 weeks advance notice of the event for consideration.
Please note, event though you may satisfy all three of the above, Doc's receives 20-30 charity requests every week (really, especially early spring to late summer). We would love to support everyone but those events representing support of the sport of motorcycling and our customers bear the best chance of support when volume is the highest. Don't be discouraged if you satisfy none of the above, it can't hurt to ask but please manage your expectations and we hope you understand.
If you have a charity event which you think Doc's might be suited for, please download and fill out this charity application form and we will consider your request.
If your request is denied, please keep us in mind for future events. Most large charity is planned well in advance but we are always looking for opportunities to support local causes as they come up.

Doc's Summer Open House with Mickey Carroll
To Benefit
Mickey Carroll, the last remaining cast member of the Wizard of Oz, contacted Doc's with a request, he wanted to do something special for fallen hero, William McEntee, a Kirkwood Police Officer.
We suggested a fundrasier for Backstoppers in his honor and promoted Mickey's appearance. Together we raised $2,300 in donations and Doc's double matched the donation for a total over $7,300.
