Member Incentives

 

Member Incentives

DFW HOG has three incentive programs to promote member participation in rides and other activities.

  • Pride Patch
  • Chapter Challenge
  • Volunteer of the Year

Pride Patch Introduction

The Pride Patch program awards a "Pride Patch" to DFW H.O.G. members for their participation in Chapter activities. The patch displays a bald eagle wearing a leather jacket with the word "PRIDE" across his chest.

Earning a Pride Patch

A Pride Patch is awarded to a member when 15 points have been earned for attendance at an activity and the minimum number of required points have been earned in each point category in a calendar year (See chart below).   To earn a point at an activity, the member must sign the Pride Patch Sign In Sheet at the event.  The member's name must be printed and legible in order to earn the point.  It is the member's responsibility to locate and sign the sheet at the activity.
