A few veterans from the founding committee wanted to lend a hand to a small local group that was sending gift boxes to deployed soldiers. At first, they were just shipping out boxes to approximately 20 soldiers at a time. After that little volunteer gig, the founders of RED Ride kicked back with some beers and had a lively chat, and that's when the dream of helping deployed soldiers really took off.  What started as a small vision has turned into an annual mission to send gifts to hundreds of deployed soldiers, with the highlight fundraiser being the annual R.E.D. Ride where hundreds of Jeeps and motorcycles come together for a fun day of honoring those brave soldiers who are giving their all for others.
