About The Ride for Our Vets
Originally launched in 2012 thanks to a unique partnership with Point72, The Ride for Our Vets has helped raise more than $1.5 million in support of Connecticut Veterans Legal Center since it’s launch.
From the start The Ride for Our Vets has taken Riders across Connecticut, with routes that have explored everything from the Connecticut rural bike trails, to the beauty of its coastline. Each year, our planning committee and staff come up with unique routes that highlight the stunning topography of our state to give our Riders the best riding experience.
Connecticut Veterans Legal Center would like to extend a special thanks to Perry Boyle, Wyot Woods, and all of the employees of Point72 who conceptualized and help grow The Ride for Our Vets into the event it is today.

Connecticut Veterans Legal Center
Connecticut Veterans Legal Center provides legal representation at no-cost to low-income Veterans across the State of Connecticut. Our mission is to empower, support, and improve the lives of Connecticut Veterans by providing free legal assistance to help them overcome legal barriers to housing, healthcare, income, and recovery.
As a recovery-focused organization, we primarily, but not exclusively, serve clients through a Medical-Legal Partnership model in which we partner with VA and other partner organizations to provide holistic support for Veterans to secure housing, access to healthcare, and income benefits, often for the first time.
