Abot the Event: Tillman's Ride is an annual fundraiser event in honor of Pat Tillman and ALL service members, past and present, as well as law enforcement and firefighters who have sacrificed so much to keep our country and its citizens safe. Our annual Tillman’s Ride event has been supported by participants from all over the country and has raised over $140,000.00 in funds, which have been donated to the Pat Tillman Foundation. Pat Tillman put an all-star NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals on hold to serve his country after the 9/11 attacks. After Pat’s death, in 2004, family and friends founded the Pat Tillman Foundation with a $1.25 million pledge to Arizona State University. Today the Pat Tillman Foundation invests in military veterans and their spouses through academic scholarships - building a diverse community of leaders committed to service to others.

It's a very happy event. Particpants are excited to meet new friends and donate to a worthwhile event. People arrive from all over the US to attend.
