Chad McQueen Chairs the
2011 Della Robbia Wreath Campaign
Actor, movie producer and automobile racer Chad McQueen has agreed to to accept the role of this year’s Honorary Della Robbia Wreath Campaign Chairman. As chairman, he will help to promote the Della Robbia program and its value as a work experience project for disadvantaged teenagers.
As an actor, Chad is perhaps best known for his role as “Dutch” in the movies Karate Kid (1984) and Karate Kid, Part II (1986). Though retired from auto racing, Chad started McQueen Racing LLC, a company which partners with leaders in the motorcycle and custom car industries to create limited edition high performance motorcycles and automobiles.
Chad continues a long tradition of McQueen family support to Boys Republic and Girls Republic. He most recently acted as the chairman and driving force behind the highly-successful Friends of Steve McQueen Car Show, a benefit event held at Boys Republic, each June.
