GAF Donates Chopper to Wounded Veteran on New Orange County Choppers TV Show

WAYNE, NJ--(Marketwired - Nov 18, 2013) - GAF, North America's largest roofing manufacturer, will be featured on the new television series Orange County Choppers, which documents the return of Paul Teutul Sr. and the crew at his world-renowned custom motorcycle shop. The episode will air on Saturday, November 23, 2013 at 9pm EST on Country Music Television (CMT).

This past August, a GAF-sponsored bike was given away to veteran Robert Dickey, a Purple Heart recipient who was wounded in Afghanistan. Dickey was presented the bike on stage in front of thousands of people before the Kid Rock concert at the Sturgis Motorcycle rally, a huge annual event that draws approximately 500,000 people each year.

GAF is honored to have been selected to appear in this episode, which is a testament to the reputation that GAF and its factory-certified contractors have gained in the marketplace. This particular episode will highlight GAF's successful Roofs for Troops rebate program, a key program that differentiates its Master Elite™ and Certified™ Roofing Contractors.

"We are very proud to offer the Roofs for Troops program here at GAF and have been thrilled to be part of helping thousands of active military and veterans put a quality new roof on their homes," stated Paul Bromfield, senior vice president of marketing at GAF. "It has been another great experience working with OCC and continuing our joint focus on investing in America."
