Philanthropy
In 2011, Mitchell Proner formed The Proner Kids Foundation, a non-profit corporation that provides cash gifts to children who have lost parents in motorcycle accidents, regardless of fault. Any members of the riding community are welcome to inquire for funding on behalf of any child that has lost a parent in a motorcycle accident.
Since 2006, Mitchell Proner has awarded an annual $1,000 scholarship to a college student to subsidize their educational needs. The recipient is selected by the Board of A.B.A.T.E. of New York as exemplifying dedication to the motorcycle rights movement.
Applications for the scholarship are available through A.B.A.T.E. of New York, and the award is funded solely by Mitchell Proner.
A.B.A.T.E. is a motorcycle rights organization that brings attention to issues affecting riders. They pushed for the repeal of helmet laws, and are also involved in safety training and charity work. The acronym A.B.A.T.E. stands for American Bikers Aimed Toward Education.
