Why I Chive!

Too often we lose sight of what it means to be a Chiver. It's about championing for the underdogs, making a difference in other people's lives and our communities through Random Acts of Kindness. It's about supporting Veterans and First Responders, that risk their lives daily to keep us safe. It's about getting together and raising a glass while raising money for charity. To restore faith in humanity, when it appears that all hope is gone.
The Chivers I call family are those that give selflessly and not expect anything in return. Those that don't beg for free stuff, just because of a sticker on their car or because they have a Chive shirt on. Those that volunteer when called upon to help. So, ask yourself, "Why Do I Chive?"
Below are some reasons why the Bona Fide OK Chive admin team Chive and continue to bust their rears to plan special events, family days and community volunteering to clean up trash or spend a few hours at local food banks sorting through food to give to the less fortunate. We don't do it for a big ego, we do it to try and make a difference in Oklahoma, like Chive Charities has!
