Team Up for collective impact
The Ride for Our Vets is more than a ride, it’s an opportunity to come together with your family, friends, colleagues, and the greater community to be part of something big and stand up for our Connecticut Veterans.
In addition to the ride itself, you will be invited to a post-ride celebration featuring live music, speakers, delicious food, games/crafts, and family-friendly activities. The Ride for Our Vets is your opportunity to have fun while raising critical funds to help our Veterans!
By forming a team, you can share your experience with family and friends alike, while also creating some friendly competition along the way. For companies and businesses, corporate teams can be a great way to do team-building and foster unity, all while showing your commitment to the Veteran community.
