Event Information
Welcome to O.C. Guns & Hoses Charity Ride!
On behalf of the over 2600 rank and file Orange County firefighters and deputy sheriffs welcome to this important website. Each and every day we proudly put our lives on the line to protect you, your family and your community. We rush into fiery buildings and confront thugs with guns despite man’s innate sense to run from trouble. Trouble is just a day’s work for the men and women who are sworn to uphold Orange County’s safety, no matter the price. We in public safety know our chosen profession is not a job but a calling and we thank our residents for supporting us especially when we are seriously injured or killed in the line of duty.
On Sunday, September 25, 2011, fire service, law enforcement, and military supporters from throughout Orange County and California will gather at the Ocean Institute in Dana Point to participate in a charity motorcycle ride and poker run that will benefit very important public safety charitable organizations: The Fallen Fire Fighters Relief Fund, The Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriffs (AOCDS) Memorial Fund, and The Laguna Niguel Military Support Foundation. The Laguna Niguel Military Support Foundation will donate funds to the 1st/4th Marine Division stationed at Camp Pendleton and the USS McClusky. These funds are fully recognized 501 (c) 3 non-profit organizations and assist firefighters, peace officers and military personnel as well as their families throughout Orange County and California that are seriously injured or killed in the line of duty.
The charity ride is aptly called “O.C. Guns & Hoses Charity Ride” as it is a wonderful opportunity for riders and passengers to join together in support of our community and support of our firefighters, peace officers, and military personnel in their time of need. There is something very special about hundreds of motorcycle riders and their passengers cruising together throughout Orange County streets proudly paying tribute to their firefighters, peace officers and military heroes. Please don’t miss the opportunity to take part in this event which we promise you will never forget. Thank you for supporting us, we truly appreciate it.
