Mission Statement
Tillman's Ride is an annual American Legion Riders event to raise proceeds for 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. 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.
Description
Tillman's Ride raises finds 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. The event has grown annually and we need more volunteers to assist with registering the participants.
