Activities include:
Team Foster Ruff Ride 24hr Spin Event– May 31st-11am-June 1st-11am Raising money to provide service dogs to injured veterans in our area. This event raises money for dogs like Dyson who as many of you know has helped me tremendously.
Grab your biz, org or crew and take turns keeping your assigned Revel Ride bike spinning for 24 consecutive hours. This team challenge allows you to decide who rides, when and for how long.
Thanks to Revel Ride
WHY WE RIDE
Team Foster raises money to provide trained service dogs at no cost to local veterans, including those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Service dogs change the lives of veterans by providing physical support and performing complex tasks enabling the veteran to heal.
INSPIRATION
Team Foster honors the spirit and sacrifice of Captain Erick Foster who was killed while engaging enemy forces in 2007 in Iraq. Erick was a warrior, a leader and an inspiration. He pushed himself and those around him to be better – to go a little farther, to give a little more, and that’s what Team Foster does. We go a little farther, we give a little more to support the service men and women who kept us safe.
