Purple Heart Ride raises funds for the Armed Forces Foundation. The AFF and Blue Knights of Maryland Purple Heart Ride will help military families pay room and board at the Navy Lodge.

The Armed Forces Foundation has again partnered with the Maryland Blue Knights, Chapter IX Motorcycle Club to continue the tradition of uplifting and supporting our wounded service men and women who have served our nation with great valor.

Last year, the Armed Forces Foundation/Blue Knights International Motor Club Purple Heart Ride drew the attention of 200 motorcyclists to the stories of pain and perseverance facing the wounded.

The stories of hope and healing are never far from the smiles brought to the faces of our soldiers when they see the outpouring of support by total strangers; strangers who make it their duty to show gratitude to those who give so much.

This event allows a group of military supporters to couple a cause they are passionate about supporting with a hobby they love; and the results are tremendous. The Purple Heart Ride generates thousands of dollars in monetary assistance each year. This money goes directly into the hands of those who need it.

It is the Armed Forces Foundation’s duty, honor and privilege to sponsor the Purple Heart Ride; one which turns the efforts of motorcycle enthusiasts into help for the military community.
