Action, Not Just Words
We do not just wear the patch. We show up when the community calls. Whether it is an honor escort for a fallen hero or raising funds for neighbors in crisis, the Riders answer the call.
Vets for Pets Run
Every dollar from our annual Vets for Pets Run goes to three local shelters: the Susquehanna SPCA, Super Heroes Humane Society, and Friends of the Feral TNR.
Legacy Scholarship Fund
The annual Legacy Run funds our scholarship program for children of Veterans, including three scholarships awarded to students from Oneonta, Worcester, and Morris.
Richards Ave Boot Drive
When the Richards Avenue explosion devastated local families, we took to the streets with the Red Knights Chapter 44 and collected $3,800, delivered through Catholic Charities to those who lost everything.
