Combat Vets Motorcycle Association®
OH 12-9
The Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association® Chapter 12-9 (CVMA® OH 12-9) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and defending those who have defended our country and our freedoms. Based in Northwest Ohio/Toledo, Ohio, we are an association of combat veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces who share a passion for motorcycles and a commitment to helping our fellow veterans.
​
Our mission is to provide assistance and support to individual veterans, veteran care facilities, and other veteran organizations in our community. We focus on ensuring that those who have served our nation receive the care, respect, and recognition they deserve. Whether it's providing a warm meal, clothing, shelter, guidance, or simply saying "Thank You" and "Welcome Home,"
CVMA® OH 12-9 is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of veterans.

As a registered 501(c)(3) veterans' charity, we sponsor and participate in numerous veteran-related motorcycle events and other charitable activities throughout the year. The funds we raise are donated to various veteran causes, ensuring that our efforts directly benefit those who need it most.​
It is important to note that CVMA® OH 12-9 is an association, not a motorcycle club. We do not claim territory, have a clubhouse, or wear cuts or colors. Instead, our members wear vests with a one-piece patch on the back, symbolizing our unity and shared purpose.
​At CVMA® OH 12-9, we are committed to the motto "Vets Helping Vets." Through our dedication, camaraderie, and unwavering support for the veteran community, we strive to make a lasting impact in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our country.
