Veterans Charity Ride is a non-profit organization that uses motorcycle therapy and other life-changing, life-saving programs to provide uplifting and healing experiences for the wounded, severely injured and amputee veterans from all branches of service. Each year, the VCR takes a group of veterans on Indian Motorcycles, custom built Champion Sidecars and Trikes from Los Angeles to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota for the adventure of a lifetime.

“At Veterans Charity Ride, our mission is to get our wounded veterans outdoors and back into the environment, so they can experience life and living again,” explained Veterans Charity Ride Founder Dave Frey. “Our partnership with Bates Footwear will assist us greatly with our mission. Just about every one of our veterans has worn Bates boots during their military service. Now that we are back home, off the battlefield, we look forward to Bates keeping our veterans safe and protected while riding on this adventure of a lifetime. Thank you, Bates, for your commitment to our servicemen and woman; it truly means a lot to us and we look forward to a long and healthy partnership!”
