Mission Statement
The Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum preserves the heritage of motorcycling for future generations, and educate the public to the history and excitement of motorcycling.
The Motorcycle Hall of Fame recognizes those who have made significant contributions to American motorcycling, including those who have excelled in motorcycle business, history, design and engineering, in addition to those known for their contributions to road riding, off-road riding and all categories of motorcycle racing.
Inductees are elected into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame by the Induction Committee, which consists of living Motorcycle Hall of Famers and independent volunteers who are experts in their given disciplines. The public is welcome to submit nominations.
The Founders Hall honors the Museum's generous contributors. Donors who have contributed $500 or more are recognized with a plaque on the wall of the Founders Hall in the museum.
The rich history of motorcycle clubs in the United States is reflected in American Motorcycle Clubs, an exhibit now on display at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. Some of the items in the exhibit date back to the 1910s and pre-date the American Motorcyclist Association itself. Other photos, banners, patches, pins, uniforms and memorabilia reflect the surge of interest in organized clubs in the post-War era.
Description
The Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum needs volunteers for events across the country and at the Museum in Pickerington, Ohio.
Volunteers are an important part in keeping charitable nonprofit organizations, like the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum, running smoothly. There are lots of important jobs that need filled that the Museum just can't afford to hire permanent staff for. Here's what you could be doing:
- Assisting Museum staff during Daytona Bike Week
- Assisting at AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days
- Assisting at Antique Motorcycle Club of America National Meets
- Helping out at the Museum during the winter months
- Transportation of motorcycles and equipment
If you volunteer to work at an event, you will get free admission and many of the expenses you incur may be tax-deductible. These expenses could include transportation, food and lodging you need during the time you are working as a volunteer for the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum.
In addition, all volunteers working during the upcoming season will receive a Museum Volunteer pin and a Certificate of Appreciation, suitable for framing.
