Soldiers and Saddles Ride: A Journey to Support Southern Tier Veterans
Get ready to rev your engines and support a great cause! The 11th Annual Soldiers and Saddles Ride is coming up on August 10th in Binghamton, and everyone is invited to participate. It’s much more than just a motorcycle ride - this event is a heartfelt initiative to support our veterans in the community.
Organized by Punishers National, this event kicks off with registration at 10:00 a.m. at the Loyal Order of Moose #1013. At noon, riders will take to the scenic route through the beautiful countryside of the Binghamton area.
For anyone looking to join the ride, registration is $25 per bike and $15 per passenger, which includes the ride itself and a delicious serving of Jimmy’s famous BBQ chicken. Non-riders can also enjoy the BBQ dinner for just $15 per person. In addition to the ride and dinner, there will be plenty of gift basket raffles to participate in.
The best part about this event is that proceeds are dedicated to benefiting Soldiers and Saddles, a local organization that supports veterans in the community. Collaborating with the Southern Tier Veterans Support Group and the Veterans Association, Stable Movements of Binghamton has launched impactful programs tailored to address the unique needs of veterans.
At the forefront of this effort, Stable Movements provides equine therapy and riding programs to support and enhance the lives of veterans with challenges. With initiatives such as hippotherapy, therapeutic riding, and even participation in events like the Special Olympics, Stable Movements has been consistently serving the community.

So mark your calendars, round up your friends, and be part of a day of riding, delicious food, and plenty of fun - and all for a great cause! For more information on the Soldiers and Saddles Ride event, visit their event Facebook page.
