Set up a Charity Motorcycle Ride
Nothing beats a great ride with blue skies above and the open road in front of you. A charity motorcycle ride is a great way to raise awareness of Service Dogs for Patriots, the need for effective PTSD treatment for veterans, and funds to continue our mission.
A Charity Motorcycle Ride brings together people who support veterans. Let us know when you have one scheduled and we'll support your event on social media. No matter where you live, this is a fun way to get involved in raising funds for veterans and their service dogs.

Celebrate a momentous occasion, like a birthday or graduation, with a fundraiser dedicated to PTSD service dogs. Honor a loved one with a memorial fundraiser focused on veterans.

No matter the occasion, get involved in fundraising for Service Dogs for Patriots.
