LOGAN, Ohio – Hocking Valley Motorcycle Club (HVMC), an off-road motorcycle club established in 1972, has an extensive history of not only hosting events but also actively supporting local communities. Most recently, the club donated a total of $2,500 to public service organizations in Hocking and Perry Counties.

HVMC partners with residents in the region who allow the club to utilize their privately-owned trails for an annual off-road motorcycle ride that draws visitors from across the country and boosts the local economy. For the past several years, it has been the wish of the landowners that donations be made in their honor to those who serve and protect the immediate communities.

HVMC recently donated $500 each to the following entities:

• Logan Professional Fire Fighters 3868
• Logan Police Department
• Monday Creek Volunteer Fire Department
• Hocking County Sheriff’s Office
• Perry County Sheriff’s Office

“Our events simply wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of local landowners and the unwavering support of the community,” said Justin Schwartz, HVMC president. “These donations are made as a tribute to our landowners’ generosity and as a sincere thank you to the first responders who keep us all safe. We’re proud to call Southern Ohio home and hope these contributions show our deep gratitude for everyone who helps our club thrive.”

Club members presented checks to the five public service organizations in December 2025.

The club’s schedule of events for 2026 includes:

• June 7: Dennisville Adventure Ride
• August 1-2: The Copperhead National Dual Sport
• October 17-18: Timber Rattler Adventure Ride
